RAF vehicles

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

The attached photo shows a typical Austin 30 cwt ( I think) in RAF service in 1940-41.

It is camouflaged in G3 and G4 overspray I guess but I think the very faded RAF on the cab door suggests a thin coat of camo over what was the RAF Blue applied on delivery from the factory, as the use of the white 'RAF' insignia was very much a pre-war standard marking but (mostly) dropped with the introduction of camo colours. Conserving paint may have been a factor I guess hence a thin coat of paint, which soon wore off.

Its a Bedford MSC supplied prewar to the RAF. Many were fitted with oversize tyres after introduction. Yes the RAF is an indication its pre war and no doubt would originally have been RAF Blue Grey.
