peter75 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Were any later war standard tilly's with the flat mesh radiator grills built as van's either for military or civilian use? I know the RAF had some standard 14 panel van's early war with civilian fronts. Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. I may have the remains of a van rather than a tilly converted to a van! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runflat Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Hi Peter, I've seen pics of later vans in RAF use with BABS (blind/beam approach beacon system) gear - serials RAF 156717, RAF 156992 and RAF 157062. Do you have the side panels? If so, does the passenger side have some vents at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it thinking it was a tilly with the plan of building a new body. Now I'm not shore what I plan to do with it. First thing is to find more information on it.

I have contacted the guy I bought it off who is going to try to contact the family of the previous owner to see if anymore body parts can be tracked down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
