Can someone give a authorative answer as to whether RAF vehicles were painted blue in wartime?
Common sense would suggest that blue would not have been a very practical colour on an operational airfield in those times, but hey -- I hadn't been invented yet and would like to know for sure. A restored WW2 MV in matt RAF blue is not an uncommon sight on the rally field these days, but as the entire war was in black and white how would we know?
I well remember RAF staff cars in the 60's being shiny blue, but the trucks and utility vehicles of post war were green weren't they?
