RNAF jeeps
Interesting string and fascinating jeep photo.
My mother's uncle Air Vice Marshall F. V. Heakes apparently received a decoration from Norway in WWII but I do not know what it was for.
My 1944 Willys MB jeep came surplus out of Norway in 1985 and in addition to serving with the Norewgian Army Engineers, served with the HVK in Oslo and the dark a paint layer suggests RNAF service as well. There has never been civilian paint colours on it. I found a US Army number on it as well as the Norwegian military registration number 5583.
I believe I saw a copy of the book on Little Norway. I recall a photo of a live bear mascot sitting in a jeep at the driver's position! Would love a scan of that photo Lars!
Any other RNAF jeep photos in the book?
