The Royal Air Force Regiment was formed for the same basic reason that the Army formed its own Air Corps and the Royal Navy its Royal Marines and Fleet Air Arm.
Website is dedicated to all who have served and who are still serving with the RAF Regiment, you will find information on the formation of the Royal Air Force Regiment on the 1st of February 1942 (including the Armoured Car Companies) to the present day including the War in Iraq and Afghanistan http://www.rrec.co.uk/website/public/thecars/How%20a%20Car%20Works.asp

Car of the Month - November 2000 - Rolls-Royce Armoured Car

Great photos of the Rolls Royce Armoured Car, this one a 1920 Pattern used by the Irish. The version used by the RAF ACCs would have been painted "sand", and used dunlop sand tires sometime in the early 1930s. They were continually modified, No.2's vehicle bodies ultimately being transferred to Fordson truck chassis. No.1 vehicles appear to have been just worn out and scrapped in 1943 or so. More detail would be welcome!
