I want all the home comforts including a shower, it can pretty hot inside a flying suit in the summer, just want to get the cover the right colour, it will be suported by poles over the caravan and awning to maintain an authentic shape. Not keen on a AA Battery I think the Spits 20mm gas guns will make quite enough racket.:dev2:

I’ll see what I can do tomorrow about the photo.

I’m still not convinced about your wheels. All the photos and drawings I’ve seen show the large pressed steel type with pneumatic tyres or solid wheels. That’s not to say that your example is wrong…just not the norm. Could be your wheels were replaced post war to a more readily available or cheaper size. I also note that the towing eye appears to be a rather agriculturally welded afterthought which was not unknown in service.

Thanks Anne

The wheels date from the 1930s and have RAF paint on them, I think that its unlikely they are a post war mod, steel pressed wheels are not the sort of thing to wear out so what would be the point of changing them?

I think you are correct in saying both colours were used. You can see the two different coloured ridge tents side by side in the last photo. The bell tents in photos 2-5 were shot at RAF Aldergrove 1937-1938, and Photo 1 believed to be 604(F) Sqdn. Hendon late 1939 early 1940.

Think I will go for a slightly off white colour then at least it will reflect some of the summer sun.
