The Handbook is a very interesting read it sheds a lot of insight as to how the US Military perceived their UK brethren. I have a copy and if you ever stumble on a copy at reasonable cost grab it.

Cheers Phil

"The Station Commander leaving for his office after breakfasting in the mess. He is driven by a W.A.A.F. MT driver."

1939 Ford Fordor? (as Ian suggested)?
