RAF Bedfords & Austins
Hello Les
You started a piece on RAF vehicles just before me !!
Can anyone assist please - is it possible by my giving an RAF registration number for someone to provide a photo/drawing of the type of vehicles in question?
I have now found, via the National Archives of Australia, the 125 Wing ground echelon movement orders, and the actual Bedford 3 Ton truck that was used by my father (in 125 Wing Signals) from Ford to B.160 Kastrup/Copenhagen with 125 Wing "A" Party. Also that used by the late LAC Eric Moyle (in 125 Wing Electrical), also in the "A" Party.
My father (LAC J C Hillman) was in Bedford 3 Ton reg. no. 104880 of 125 Wing Signals - and LAC Eric Moyle was in Bedford 3 Ton reg. no. 104828 of 125 Wing Electrical, and Austin Power reg. no. 84040, also of 125 Wing Electrical, but from the "B" Party.
Can anyone also advise if it is possible to find out which No. LST these vehicles were loaded onto, and the date?
Happy to discuss this off-board if necessary, and I can send copies of the RAF "Allocation of Vehicles" as well.
cheers
Allan
