Hey guys, does anyone know of any websites where I can get details on the equipment & markings of the RAF Regiment in WW2? Are there any books on the subject out there?

All help on this much appreciated.

Hi nev
There is a book called 'The RAF Regiment at war' which is available form Amazon. A friend has this book and I believe it is very good. It is by Kingsley Oliver. Nick :-)

I came across this site while doing research on my Acc Armour kit of the Morris scout car:

I did a quick Wikipedia search that yielded a bit of info too.

"rockape.org", love it :-) :-) :-)

My old man did 10 years on Lightnings in the 60s & 70s so I am well versed in terms such as Rockape, Snowdrop and Brains-on-a-leash

Anyway, looks like some good photos on there, thanks.
