Default RAF Colours

Ted - here is an example of boffins at work and the camo on the radar trailer that dates to 23rd December 1940. The photo was taken at Sopley (but in the field opposite the site that later became RAF Sopley).

Any idea of the camo colours?

Hi Larry I would suggest Khaki green No 3 with the other being Light green No 5 or Nobels Dark Tarmac green No 4. most likely the latter. I will see if I can find any observer Corp pics of that era but pre- and early hostility I think they wore civvies with a police "on- duty" striped wristlet ?/
