Paul Bradley Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Anyone know any book available on RAF ground vehicles from WWII to present? I have the old Airfix magazine guide but is there anything more comprehensive? And I vaguely remember a series in Airfix mag itself waaaaaay back - is my memory correct on that? TIA!

CarLos Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 And I vaguely remember a series in Airfix mag itself waaaaaay back - is my memory correct on that? TIA! Yes, "Wheels of the RAF" by Bruce Robertson. There's also a book with the same contents that sells second hand by outrageous prices. Send me your e-mail, I have all the articles scanned.

Evalman Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I have a couple editions of a book called 'Encyclopedia of the modern Royal Air Force', the first was published around 1984, the second during the early 1990's. the rear of the books contain info, photos and 1/76 scale drawings of RAF Vehicles including Refuellers, Crash trucks, Tractors, Coaches, and a whole host of others. I can photocopy the relevent pages if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Paul, this book might be useful for some of the more specialist vehicles. A well illustrated history, no actual modelling content though.

Paul Bradley Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Have you got both? They are different. I have the 1984 edition - if you could scan the relevant pages of the other, I'd be most grateful. Hello Paul, this book might be useful for some of the more specialist vehicles. A well illustrated history, no actual modelling content though. Nice! I'll check Amazon over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hello Paul, this book might be useful for some of the more specialist vehicles. A well illustrated history, no actual modelling content though. Got the book stated, most of the Bomb trollies and armourer type stuff is seriously mis labelled in this tome, so it doesn't give me a warm feeling about the rest. Some good photo's though.
