Morning folks,

 

maybe a silly question, but what would make up a typical MT section on a RAF station in the 1950s?

 

i.e. cars, vans trucks etc

PS, if anybody has got a ex RAF Staff car going cheap, might have to sell the 90 and thought of something dual purpose (car for shows and work!)

Was there a typical MT section?

The 50's were a bit of a mixed for the RAF, who wanted to be shown to be at the cutting edge of technology. Only the technology they mostly invested in were aircraft for some reason :??? RAF MT during the early 50's tended to be a mix of wartime veterans with "new" post war models. In terms of cars amongst others are: Austin Princesses, Ford Zodiacs and Zephyrs, Humber Hawk, Rover P5 and Land Rover, Vauxhall Victor Police Specials and Crestas.

And in Germany, Mercedes Benz 300, Opel Kapitan, Volkswagen Beetle.

That's obviously not a concise list, plus there were also a number of later models of wartime vehicles. I'm sure someone here will be able to furnish you with a complete MT Section list
