VE Day in Wickham Market

Travelling through Wickham Market high street we came across this delightful RAF Austin parked up.

It’s lovely to see VE Day being flagged in the village for the car enthusiasts.

1932 Military Austin Seven Radio Car Built to the order of the War Office.

This is one of only three surviving Radio Cars and is only one in RAF colours, who are documented as using the vehicles.

Restored a few years ago it is in excellent condition with many original features including colour and registration number, but presently has an incorrect radio set fitted.

The Austin has been authenticated as an original War Office order and carries the original contract plate and number, together with the WO number stamped on the bodywork.
