RCAF vehicles in domestic service

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Some types like this Aerodrome Control Car had a different paint scheme specified for later contracts (or were repainted during the course of their service).

This International Aerodrome Control Car was first painted airside yellow with a black roof to minimise glare for the air traffic controllers.

The next picture shows the same type of truck in a flat drab paint of some sort with white panels.

A nice line up of administrative vehicles in black, RCAF motor transport in blue/black, airside vehicles in yellow and fire trucks in red.

Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, International, and most likely a few other makes thrown in as well. Wish this was a colour photo!
