Allied (British) AA trucks?

[hchris]

What kind of truck mounted with AA guns did the Allied Forces use? I am especially interested in British AA trucks, does anybody have any idea?

For starters, you might google for:

Bedford 15 cwt 4X4 w/single 20mm Oerlikon.
Morris-Commercial C9/B 30 cwt w/40mm
Ford 4X4 3 ton w/40mm

There is also the Car, Armoured, AA, Humber Mk I w/4 Besa MGs.

There were also a variety of tanks that carried AA guns as their main armament.

Do you know roughly the date they saw action?

So nobody has any picrtures?

It would be very nice if somebody could help me out with pictures of the Bedford+20mm Oerlikon...

I recall seeing pictures of vehicles mounting up to six Oerlikons or Polstens, but I don't offhand recall where, and I don't know whether or not they saw service. I also believe that some larger (up to 3 inch) AA guns were mounted on trucks.
