macroban Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Bob S,I'm on a fishing trip as I don't know the answers.I would have expected the ARP to have a "W" on their helmets, but there was some local improvisations before national standardisation.They could be local volunteer ambulance drivers.So, any help in identification is welcome.I don't think that paint was rationed, but it was in short supply, as were paintbrushes, and for domestic use limited to a three-colour ultilty range: cream, green, and brown.
