Hi Gang,Just a quick question,Did the RAF use jeeps in the UK ?.I ask because i`ve got a 1/24 Airfix Mosquito on Christmas club (layaway) at a local toy store and i`d like to give it some sort of scale by showing a vehicle next to it.
If anyone has pictures that`d be a huge bonus !.

Yes they did.

Some period pictures.



Restorations (Disregard the amber turn signals. They are modern additions for legal road use):






Those should get you started.

I'm no expert, but I guess this is a Mosquito on the left
