Vehicle History

In the search for the history of 35-AJ-20 i emailed the Research department of the RAF Museum.

This was the best first course of action to take considering the vehicle is ex-RAF according to the 'AJ' in its registration.

I gave them the Chassis number and Military Registration number and within a few days recieved an email with a copy of the history card for my vehicle, free of charge.

If they have more information they will sometimes ask for your address to post via snail mail. If this happens they may sometimes ask for a donation.

This is the history card i recieved for my vehicle shows not the most varied and exciting history a service vehicle could have, but its better than being sat in storage all its life on reserve stock.

From what i can understand it was recieved by Ashchurch Depot on 3rd November 1978 from Land Rover. It was then transfered to RAF Leuchars on the 15th March 1979. It was then moved to another section at RAF Leuchars on the 26th October 1979. Finally being put up for auction on the 30th October 1986.

Since then my vehicle has had 5 previous owners in civilian life all across the UK. Myself being the 6th and unexpectedly return it to its original operating station during its working RAF life, RAF Leuchars.
