LRDG Chevrolet 30cwt w. 0.50cal, Boyes & 2 MG

Created in 1942 on North Africa, the SAS specialised in hit and run attacks behind enemy lines, in particular Axis airfields. As there was no vehicle readily adapted for such missions, the SAS developed their own. Heavily modified Lend-Lease jeeps and 30cwt trucks had their windscreen, radiator grilles and even their bumpers removed to reduce weight and to allow for extra loads to be carried. Weapons mounted were typically Vickers K and Browning machine guns.
