RAF Vehicle Colors

[Nigel Dawe]

That's a Thompson Bros. refueller. These were built from the early 1930's until the end of WWII. There are a few about, Brooklands Museum at Weybridge, Surrey (famous for its early airfield and oval race car track) has a lovely drivable example of a Mk.III in Shell-Mex BP livery.

There is reputed to be one in a museum in W.A., Keith ! Julian Temple, the Aviation Curator of Brooklands Museum, knows quite a lot about these super unusual vehicles. He's contactable via the museum website. He would also love to know about the Aussie one if anyone over there can help. I can pass any info on to him.
