Ted,

Regarding RAF cammo I appreciate that units going to France and Middle East would have dispensed with RAF Blue but I have read in Mike Starmers books that RAF blue was still in use in the UK until circa summer 1940 when units, likely to come under air attack in Southern Britain, painted their vehicles in cammo, with what ever they had. Then, as you and Mike Starmer both say, the RAF conformed to Army schemes from 1941.

How strange then that you still see mid to late war RAF vehicles at rallies and on TV painted RAF blue!

Regarding the registrations of RAF vehicles do you know whether records are kept of these: I have the vehicle registrations for some vehicles used by the RAF but the records only refer in basic terms ie Tender or 30 cwt but do not say what make. I would be interested to find the vehicle type from the registration.
