LRDG F30 Patrol Truck

The Long-Range Desert Group was the first and ‘arguably the most dashing and successful irregular formation on either side in the entire war’. Their role was deep penetration reconnaissance, road-watching (observing Axis forces movements along the coastal roads to establish logistics and military unit movements to and from the front-line hundreds of miles away), and raiding (they attacked airfields long before the British Special Air Service thought of it). They also transported allied agents and the SAS on their initial raids behind enemy lines, recovered downed aircrew and lost soldiers, and were the first to accurately map the North African desert. They were often referred to as the ‘Libyan Taxi service’ by those who benefitted from their skills and were highly respected for their ability to get to any point in the desert at a given time.
