Default RAF Vehicles

Yes I think you are right, a Morris Ambulance like this one I saw at War & Peace Revival a few years back.

Incidentally I spoke to the owner about the colour and he was adamant that it was built in spring 1941 and painted RAF Blue Grey at the factory. I have no reason to doubt him.

Kind Regards

Larry

The location of the MR pics is at the Station's sick quarters, the Albion and Morris are not part of the MR team's vehicles hence all over cam . The Humber had yellow and black on the roof to make it visible to spotter planes whilst on shouts . I am sure I once read an article about that preserved Morris - I am sure it said the body was a re-creation to represent an RAF Morris domestic ambulance ?

Ted,

Nice photo. That Morris has military features not present on the preserved one: towing points above the front bumper, provision for mounting the spare wheel on the cab roof and a spotlight. These fit in with the preserved one being a re-creation based on a civilian vehicle.

Default I'm overdue!

It was only a matter of time before I found myself here! Some of you may know me as RAFMT on another forum, but it though I'd resuscitate this thread with an image to go with the armoured cars and armed tenders that were put up before:

Here is an unusual if not unique RAF vehicle recently published in the RNZAF Museum on-line photo collection. A captured German Schwimmwagen believed to be somewhere in France
