The LRDG F30 Gun Truck was a notable vehicle used by the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) during World War II.
Built on the robust Ford F30 chassis, this truck was adapted for the harsh desert conditions of the North African theater.
Its key feature was the Ordnance 37mm Mk I Bofors gun, a versatile anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapon.
Key Features:
Chassis: Ford F30, known for its reliability and off-road capabilities.
Gun: The Ordnance 37mm Mk I Bofors, a quick-firing cannon effective against both ground and air targets.
Role: Used primarily for reconnaissance, raiding, and providing mobile fire support in the desert.
Crew: Typically operated by a small crew trained for rapid deployment and engagement.
Modifications: The truck was often modified with additional stowage for supplies, extra fuel tanks, and sometimes camouflage to blend into the desert terrain.
This gun truck exemplified the LRDG's innovative use of available resources to maximize combat effectiveness in a challenging environment.
