RAF Civilian Drivers.
Browsing through the Historic Military Vehicles Forum recently, another interest of mine, I came across some images of a WW2 Fordson airfield fire tender and crew which included a civilian driver. The driver is in civvies but is wearing a peaked cap with a cap badge of the eagle with seperate crown above. Does anyone know if this was an authorised badge for wear by civilian drivers or was it unofficial?. Hoot.

RAF Civilian Drivers
This is a completely legit badge.
During my time in Hong Kong in the mid 1980's, the Commander RAF in Hong Kong had a locally employed civilian driver who wore an anodised crown and eagle on a black peaked cap. From memory he wore a white shirt, black tie and standard DMS shoes. |

As blueboy684 says, the badge has been worn by civilian MT drivers for many years, although I have not seen any for a long time as many MT Sections are now civilianised.
Please see the attachment. Dave |

I know what you mean but civilianised MT implies civilian drivers.

Yes, my error should have said contractorised.
