Manufacturer description

The Bedford OY was introduced in 1939 for the military and comprised a long wheelbase truck. The OYC was the tanker version to carry either water or petrol and it is in its fuel distribution role that we see it here in blue and black with white bumper markings, registered GLK 5. Its PB 795 fleet number features on the cab doors while the tanker sides carry the warning Petroleum Spirit Highly Inflammable. Its POOL status is also printed above the cab's split window.
