Default RAF Museum, Hendon

Have you tried the RAF Museum in Hendon for photos of staff cars?

Lightbulb RAF staff cars

You may find the following book of assistance;
"Wheels of the RAF"
by Bruce Robertson
published 1983
ISBN 0-85059-624-6

Try your local library.
Depending on the actual period you wish to depict will determine the colour of the car.
I am at present restoring an 1944 ex-RAF Humber Snipe and find it to have been finished in olive drab, then at a later date (post war)blue/grey.

Richard
