This brings back memories of all those times i pushed a trolleyacc across a dispersal.  Sometimes warm and sunny, most times lashing down and blowing a hooley.

Army serials and Army-style markings on an RCAF vehicle?? 

 

IIRC, RCAF generally followed RAF vehicle marking practice.  Their vehicle serials began "RCAF" and were usually on the bumper on Jeeps.  Roundels on the windscreen right side and RAF-style tac markings on the left were also used (usually beginning "TAF" on air force ground vehicles in NWE).  

 

Of course this many not have been universal and the camera never lies if there are photos to the contrary.

Superb. The detail on the engine is phenomenal.

Sounds entirely plausible.  Crabs will steal anything ....................!  AFAIK RCAF didn't have a dedicated ground defence arm analogous to the RAF Regiment, so I imagine that Canadian army would have provided airfield defence

exquisite details

Superb work - I own a full size original RAF Jeep and I can't fault it - perfect!
