Dusty Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It looks good. What period did they operate in? Dusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braillescaledave Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 As far as I can tell from about mid-44- 2TAF had them first, I reckon because 4x4 was probably more use on forward airstrips and advanced landing grounds, (probably similar reason as to why the Crossley FWD was more in evidence in France, rather than than the Fordson WOT1- based tenders)... By war's end there were a few on UK bases...They lasted until the mid-fifties, being replaced by the Land-rover ACR, in quick-time. This one is exampled as a '45 one. The whole colour scheme for these is interesting- they definitely got repainted in RAF blue-grey, some with yellow bonnets. They were also painted in bright red, after 1949, again some with yellow bonnets, and generally with Blue-grey tilts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFMT Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 generally with Blue-grey tilts. Because the RAF did not stock a red paint that could be used on canvas, you were limited to blue-grey or drab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) Dave, Old post I know - but what has happened to your photos - did Photobucket pull the plug? Is your jeep on this ? http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210/message/1502975155/Crash+Tenders+and+Ambulances Edited November 30, 2017 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braillescaledave Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi Larry, That is indeed my Jeep, ACR. You can also see it on the Airfix Tribute Forum too. Although I don't generally post on that forum anymore. And indeed Photobucket tried the 'let us fleece you....' Routine with me, too. So I dumped them, and deleted my account and all data. I now use my onedrive (which has the huge benefit of being free, as well as a serious amount of storage) Microsoft don't demand any licences, don't insist they have copyright, or anything else really...
