Dear All,

I want to mention to Hanno, that the gloss black fenders on RAF vehicles was actually used pre-war by the RAF so the RCAF panel van posted above is quite possible to be blue and black in the pre-war period.

The colour scheme may be seen on the RAF Museum Fordson Sussex balloon winch and on a few other vehicles. Its a subject I'm studying and at a guess the two colour scheme may have been considered for use by the AM but delayed until post war.
