Here's a picture of a 60-cwt truck in camouflage scheme plus RAF roundels - never seen this before.

I was told the picture was taken in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Seems like school kids are taken for a ride?

I like the way they have made sure everyone knows its RAF with all those roundels! Interesting camo on the side of the CMP too!

The large roundal was the RAF's 2TAF air recognition marking- in that theatre of operations RAF vehicles rarely carried the star.

I am not RAF fan, but I guess these two pictures were not shown over here. I have found them on UK Ebay by chance searching for something else.

Jan, they are Morris Commercials. I think "D" types, built between 1932 and 1939.

I think the CD model was made in the 1920's

I cannot find the picture at the moment, but one of my Mum's cousin's in England served with the RAF in Northern India during the war at a base near Raulpindi, which I believe is now part of Pakistan. I have a picture of him sitting in a RAF Cab 13 Chev 15cwt with the roof removed.
