No Signals Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Would a RAF bike have a 'C' number on it? I thought, maybe incorrectly, that it would be an RAFxxx.. number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel Llewelyn Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 Norman Henderson was definitely RAF in India / Burma, and it has RAF roundel on the fender, perhaps different numbering for India? I have no idea ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought, maybe incorrectly, that it would be an RAFxxx.. number? This was also my first thought. On the other hand, we know that vehicles have been transferred from Army to RAF. Did these vehicles keep their Army census number? I guess it was replaced, but maybe this took some time in certain cases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The RAF roundel was also painted on army vehicles for aircraft recognition. Later replaced by the Allied star. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
