Hello Kitch. I can't remember ever seeing an original picture of an RAF WD/CO. Unfortunately no RAF records seem to have survived. I have a few Ariel W/NG shots though. My own CO is from an ex RAF contract and I have depicted it by viewing the W/NG shots. I have seen squadron markings on other vehicles. So with artistic licence, I have applied TAF/83 to the top of my fuel tank. I would assume however, any such markings would have been painted on the mudguards?
Gawd knows what pump was used? Maybe Jan can come up with more info? Ron

Here is a close up of an Ariel with Roundel. This is from a bigger picture of an RAF field workshop and some of the other Ariels don't appear to have the Roundel. Ron

Here's an early war shot of an RAF WD/C with roundel on the front guard.
...and a 16H in what looks to be Italy with roundel and unit marking on the front guard.
... Maybe Jan can come up with more info? Ron
Hello Ron and Andy,
Unfortunately there is absolutely no mention of a pump in the parts lists, driver's handbooks or workshop manual... Looks as if you can use whatever you find, as long as it fits and it looks "period"...
Cheers,
Jan

Here is an RAF Harley WLC. Does anyone know what the numbers represent (3rd motorcycle in 630 squadron?)
