I met a bloke in Normandy this year with a similarly marked RAF Jeep. He maintained that the TAF/3 on my RAF Royal Enfield was incorrect. YET there were only 1st 2nd and 3rd Tactical air force.

Ron, TAF equals Tactical Air Force, the number following it is the subordinate organisation i.e 83, 84 or 85 group. Afraid the guy who says TAF/3 is incorrect is right,

"The Jeep in Canadian Service" has a photo or two of WWII Cdn Jeeps and some info on colours. Unfortunately they are there and I am here so I can't post right now.

Thanks for the information chaps ( Bugger I got it wrong)

Ted, Jan sent me an explanation about RAF markings that you had sent him. Great information, Thanks.

I spray stenciled the markings on, but I don't feel confident to modify it myself. I know a good old boy sign writer local to me. I think I'll ask him.
