Nobody quite knows how many Bedford QLs were made during WW2 but they typified what an Army lorry should look like to most people and many soldiered on right up until the early sixties. I should know for I had the dubious pleasure of driving one for a large slice of my National Service days, but it broke my heart when I had to swap it for a later Bedford RL.
Here a troop carrying version waits at a remote railway station for the latest intake from basic training to arrive while the WO2 chats with the driver.

COMMISSION A PAINTING FROM MIKE. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that Mike sadly passed away November 2020 aged 81, but I, (his partner) will keep his shop here going and am happy to reply to any emails you might send to his own email address at mike@transportartist.co.uk. Virtually nobody considered the humble lorry worthy of the subject of a painting until Mike made it so. Years of being at the sharp end of long distance HGV driving has given him an insight and knowledge into the industry that enables Mike to depict lorries as they really were in the past and not the idealized view of the less knowledgeable making him the man to paint an original of your favourite commercial vehicle. He is without a doubt THE lorry...
