Ik heb ook het idee dat dit de eenheid is.
De afbeelding laat volgens mij echter meerdere emblemen over mekaar zien, dit zou kunnen verklaren dat de t van regiment verdwenen is.
Als dit het geval is dan is het zeker interessant om dit voertuig terug te brengen in zijn originele RAF staat.
2856 Squadron
Formed in the UK May 1942, in the Light Anti-Aircraft role, it was amongst the second wave of RAF Regiment units to land in Sicily on 19 July 1943, being deployed to Augusta and Agnone. About two weeks after the invasion of Italy on 3 September 1943 the unit, together with 2855, 2857, 2904 and 2858 Squadrons, crossed the Straits of Messina and were deployed to protect the Foggia airfield complex on the east coast. Further moves took it to Mileni, Cutella and San Vito Marino. During this period two members of the squadron were mentioned in despatches.
It returned to the UK in July 1944 and converted to a Rifle squadron in October 1944 and moved to the continent in January 1945. Serving initially at St Omer and later Dunkirk, where it took part in the siege of the town, Eindhoven, Damme, Diepholz, Celle, Fassberg, Schleswig Holstein and Rendsburg, where it disbanded in March 1946.
In November 1943 2906 Field Squadron began this task, using marker panels by day and flares by night to indicate the bomb line. In January 1944 they were relieved of this task at Montenero Petaciato and St Vito Chiento by 2857 LAA Squadron, who were themselves replaced in this role by 2856 LAA Squadron at Castel Frentano. Within a few days, 2856 Squadron were the victims of a USAAF bombing attack by Flying Fortresses which had mistaken the navigation aid markers for target indicators. Fortunately, there were no casualties on that occasion.
