John, this is beeee-autiful! New Zealand airports ran many Bedfords of this type at the same period. Well done to all concerned with preserving these magnificent vehicles.

John, I got to thinking could this really have been a 1968 model? But after a quick Google was surprised to learn the last RL series came off the production line in the early 1970's and in total there were 74, 000 produced. The Green Goddess was also based on the RL.
