Based on a civilian car design, the Austin Tilly (Utility) van found itself in a multitude of military roles with the Allied Forces during and after the Second World War. This RAF blue colour scheme has a contrasting pale green ‘canvas' back and replica ‘canvas ‘window flaps. With white number plate RAF 18534 on the front and rear bumpers, the RAF lettering on the cabin doors is also white and a line of white masking applied to the wheel arches provides an extra highlight. Another fine detail sees a silver spade on the roof with blue shaft and handle and held in place in a blue holder. The RAF roundel and military numbering finish off this simple but very attractive little vehicle.
