I am trying to establish what colours my Series 2 SWB 1959 ex RAF Land Rover would have originally been painted. I have contacted the RAF Museum but they have not been able to assist me with this. I have not been able to trace another one of this variant or a photo of one in service.
I believe it may have had a hard top fitted rather than a canvas roof and that this may have been painted yellow, with the rest of the vehicle being painted RAF blue/grey. Any information you can provide or a photo of one would be greatly received.
The original RAF registration number is believed to be: 66 AA 40
The RAF contract no: KL/H/0252
Section and Ref: 16A/2433 truck Airfield Lighting Maintenance Land Rover Series II
The British Motor Museum confirms that it was dispatched by Land Rover to RAF Ercall.
Thank you for your help.
