The official name for this vehicle was "Truck, 3-Ton 4x4, Armoured
(Bedford RL)", but many souces also refer to it as the "Bedford "Pig
APC".
This vehicle was built on a modified Bedford RL 3-Ton Truck Chassis for
use in Malaya, but some also reportedly saw action in Aden, Cyprus and
Singapore. An interesting bit of information gathered indicates
the armour plating was provided by the Royal Navy in Singapore,
but cannot be substantiateded at this time. Additional information provided by Gordon A. Mackinlay -New South Wales, Australia |
