Richard Farrant Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Is there a resource, online or elsewhere, were I can find out what vehicles were allocated the following: 29AD50/51 04AJ87 60AV14 47AV10/18 04AK22/90 Any info would be useful.... Hi Trevor, 04AK22 was a GMC 6x6 snowplough and 04AK90 was a Magirus T54 - Linhoff snow clearer. RAF vehicles using letters AD were refuellers, fuel trailers and specialist vehicles. AJ was cargo trucks and refuellers AV was snow clearers, re-registered WW2 vehicles and radio trucks. AK was sweepers, snow clearers and refuse trucks Hope this is of help.

wally dugan Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hi Trevor I came across my old copy of ROYAL AIR FORCE fleet vehicle list which contains the following information which may help you in your search. O4 AJ 87 is listed as a Ford Thames 4X4 Parachute distribution van possibly the E2 version of interest O4 AJ 86 is the same type of vehicle but came from the army and had the Reg No 91 BH O5 47 AV IO and 47 AV 18 are listed as FWD s 3/4 Ton 4 X 4 GS Lister generator trucks. I have no information on any other of your vehicles so I hope Hendon can help, sorry I cannot help any more as all I really know about is army vehicles. Good luck Regards Wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally dugan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi Trevor The book I refered to was compiled on the instructions of the MOD it starts in 1950 and ends in 1990. It lists all the vehicles and type but not were they were stationed. As far as I know it was only for internal use how I came by it I cannot remember. I only found it while trying to sort out my archives which contain about 2000 documents mostly relating to army vehicles. regards wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
