ex RAF Landy 16 KF 54 service history file help

[Mightyquin]

Hi,

I've bought this Landy and have received the military history file which has 3 entries;

JSCS Ashchurch (I understand that this is the main vehicle depot that most/all go through on delivery)
90 SU - I think this is 90 Signals Unit RAF (the Landy has RAF roundels front and rear)
ADT - I'm not sure what this is?

Any info/comments on the above would be appreciated.

There is also a vehicle record card available via the Royal Logistics archives (for £35). Does anyone know if that'll tell me any more about its history or will it just be the hard copy of the details I've already had as above?

I've also noticed so graffiti etched on a spoke of the steering wheel which looks like it's been there a long time, says "Tops is gay".........

Thanks

I reckon if you look a bit further, you'll find some graffiti stating that "Dave Yeeles is a big jobby" as well.

Wow! I'll get looking, thanks.

Ashchurch took over from CVD Hilton as the issue point for wheeled vehicles. Tracks were done by Ludgershall. To the best of my recollection vehicle record cards showed transfers between stations/units, and changes of major assemblies, engines/gearboxes/axles.

I believe all vehicles, wheeled and tracked, are now the responsibility of Ludgershall.
