Austin K2/Y
The Austin K2/Y is a British heavy military ambulance that was used by all Commonwealth services during the Second World War. Built by Austin, it was based on the civilian Austin K30 light truck, differing mainly by having simple canvas closures in place of driver's cab doors. One veteran of the North African Campaign stated he once managed to carry 27 wounded, with passengers seated on the wings, bonnet, rear steps, and in extra stretchers suspended by rifles across the rear walkway; he was mentioned in dispatches for this feat. The K2/Y ambulance was also used in the Korean War.
