Ok folks,

 

I won a book on ebay called encyclopedia of the Modern Royal Airforce by Terry Gander.

 

In the section on RAF B vehicles, (apart from the Giraffe Telehandler mentioned in another thread) there is a piccy of a FX4 Taxi (London black cab) with RAF plates, the caption states that it is used as a light ambulance.

 

Anybody seen these? or got piccys? Imagine turning up at Beltring with a FX4 in RAF markings? Confuse a lot of the "Experts" :cool2:

Not only seen them but rode in one or 2, turning the clock back to the days when the RAF /UK military had its own hospitals, there would be a daily run or twice daily run from stations to the hospitals for outpatients appiontments and for conveying wives visiting husbands who were in patients. Several units them for the "several times daily " run to the local railway station and for shuttle runs around airfields. They were ideal for these purposes and far more comnfortable than a rattly old Transit or J4 minibus !!
