simpleearth Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am trying restore my LWT Land Rover back to its former glory. I need a colour photo - if possible showing any decals etc. My lwt is one of the 1st Series 3`s that entered the RAF in 20.11.72 . Any images would be great. Reg no. 53AM78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpleearth Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks guys. Ref the record card: RAF West Raynham 18/12/72 Marham - West Raynham 19/1/76 The history card confirms its colour as Blue/Grey, It also looks like it might have been used by 100 Sqn which was flying Canberras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. The only stickers that WERE on there, (ripped and torn, so removed, I'm afraid), was a red letter on white background, giving speed limits in BAOR, and a 'SOXMIS' contact number. The Cold War was never colder then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
