GGU 519 (1942) Austin K2Y (contract A.1445/1941), of the American Ambulance, likley to be a ex army sale. another second hand Austin K2y(1943) of the Red Cross.normandy 1944 Below this Austin K2Y (1945) with ERM KYW 939 said to be a CAA registration. the KYW series appears to be Govt. nos. thats a bit off track as I am looking for Ruddington sales information on WWII Humber 4x4, and any in the RAF regs Rupert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rewdco Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The Middlesex C.C. registrations (RMH, JMK, RMK, PMK, ...) were all issued to the War Department, prior to early September 1939 (war declaration). After that date military vehicles no longer had civilian registrations. Unfortunately the Middlesex C.C. registration ledgers haven't survived. The Home Office did use civilian registration numbers for its vehicles during the war. I think GGU 519 is one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupert condick Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 hi Civilian type registrations, I found appear to have been fitted to Ex-army Ambulances used by the Red Cross on D-Day the vehicles were just out of warranty(12months old/ 10,000miles). post war Champs (RGX,PJJ,PLF(1954) carried civilian registrations, when on army evaluation, JLR being a batch (1947) that cover Austin K2Y ambulances, Gutty 4x4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
