Malaysia - Old Bedfords

Bedford TK - waiting for stripping of usable parts and scrapping.
Malaysia has been a loyal user of the Bedford Chassis for their fire tenders for 3 decades or more.
Noted for durability, reliability & flexibility. However their time is over but their parts will live on and on.

I think Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore must be Bedford loyal customer as the fire department of these countries owns a lot of Bedford before, some are still in use today.Like in Brunei still use a Bedford Command Vehicle and it's spare parts maybe taken from the decommissioned Bedford appliances while in Singapore the SCDF still use several Bedford 3-tonne lorry for logistic purpose.However, the Petronas Miri Crude Oil Terminal (MCOT), Sarawak still use several Bedford TK (high roof version) WRL as their frontline appliances.But i think the MCOT Bedfords are having engine problems as i always see they are being having regular engine repair at workshops around Miri.

Sorry - I don't recall. The vehicle was pretty well stripped out.
