I had wondered when RAF vehicles stopped being painted blue and changed to green, the same colour as the army, but hadn't realised that it was as late as the 1970s. The question cropped up a while back when I saw some pictures of a 1940s car that the owner had decided to depict as an RAF Staff car. I can't remember the make of the vehicle only that it was Britishicon and the restorer had gone for the mid to late 1940s period. What stood out as being incorrect was the camouflage green/brown paint scheme with RAF roundels. I thought that it should have been painted blue but wasn't sure when the change-over in colours for RAF vehicles happened.
