  • One of the most rugged trucks of World War Two it was in service with the British and Germans and was used as a mobile church stop gap armoured truck for the RAF and in it's most famous roles as a wireless pontoon carrier and machinery truck to name but a few with production starting in 1937 it service in North Africa and the European theatres one of Leyland's best products during the war there are a few still on the road as we can see in this video.
    Very few RUclipsrs make videos on WW2 trucks as they think it's boring well that's all about to change with my new series the first one of the year the real heroes were the trucks and the men who drove them enjoy :-) Chapters are below...
    ( If you have any ideas for next weekends video write the comments and i will get back to you )

      @@andysvehiclehistorychannel history is fascinating every aspect of it. I don't know about you but when I see and hear the old men talk about what they took part in an doing a tear fills my eye and a sence a pride. But even the strokes from the Axis too. The first one that broke me was a tanker on what of the assault beaches I think in a Sherman and he broke down crying saying we had to keep moving forward we had to push forward on the beach where littered dead and wounded brothers an I still hear them screaming as my tank rolled over them there was nothing I could do we had to push forward those who where still fighting needed us up front. And that story broke my fucking heart.

Saturday is one year of the channel I was going to do a video about the B P Defiant on Sunday but i'v just seen a book on e-bay that i'm buying next week so I'm going edit the 300 sub special about a very famous American aircraft of the war I will give you a clue it found the Bismarck 🇺🇲

      @@andysvehiclehistorychannel I don't think the c45 was permanently stored on the aircraft carrier. I think it was flown on and off as needed either for the commander of the carrier or for supplies when they were close to shore basis. I agree that a non-folding wing aircraft in a crowded hangar would not make much sense

    I am building a model of the Motor Church of St. George but this one was based on the AEC Marshal 644. I notice that the two trucks are quite similar, so I'm converting a Leyland Retriever kit. I was surprised an pleased to see your video showed another motor church based on the Retriever. Please could you let me know the source for that photo?

      Hey Nigel I think that's a great idea making a mobile church I first saw an article in the very first Vintage Roadscenice magazine I bought in November 2010 some of the photos come from forums but the photo to do with the mobile church is from a great book published in 2013 called British Military Trucks in World War II by TankoGrad its a thick book but only has one photo of the church last time I knew it was £40 off Amazon but these books are getting harder to find i'd love to see your model when finished as I'm starting getting in to making kits in May and my first was going to be the Leyland Retriever from IMC but I was going to but a wireless body on it I'm going to look up the Marshal...
