...about RAF Beetles. Rather interesting.

Here! 

I'm wondering who "Zwitter" is. Is he on here?

---

That's me!

I lead a double life!

---

Funny - I was wondering for ages wether to pm you and ask about your user name on there. See I'm not the only Messerschmitt fan on here then LOL.

---

Good old German engineering eh? 🙂

---

Any pics of your pals car then?

---

Afraid not (yet) - he's in Germany and I'm just doing the research for him.

I don't actually know him much, I thought I'd help him out though.

Hi Zwitter, I've always been interested in military VW's, and found this while surfing the net looking for evidence of Kombis being used by the RAF...

"There were also 5 Ford Koln trucks used as offices, one equipped and used as a chemical mixing and storage truck, another as a general darkroom? Support vehicles included a Mercedes water bowser/tanker, mobile Bosch generator units. Magirus Deutz 3 ton trucks, a Volkswagen Beetle (for the boss), Volkswagen Combi, a motor-bike for film carrying at speed from the squadron. As with the trailers, all vehicles were new. It was now the job of the writer to order all the trimmings, i.e. furniture and items needed to run the unit."



There are some large B/W shots of the Beetle as well, they are large though, so better to follow the links in the site rather than post here. Frustratingling I can find none of the Kombi though! :x
