    If anyone could ID these unit symbols I would be grateful. Thanks,

    Bryan

    Hello Bryan

    Very interesting photo's. :jumping: I believe that I might have the answer, for two of your photo's. I hope that someone will correct me, if I am wrong. I can't make out the licence plate of the second vehicle. That would confirm if the vehicles belonged to the luftwaffe. The unit insignia looks like a simplified version of the squadron badge, that belonged to Aufklarungs Gruppe 13.

    All the best

    Navy?

    I believe that this vehicle, allso belongs to the Luftwaffe. The unit emblem, looks like a simplified version of the squadron emblem, that belonged to 5./Bordflieger Gruppe 196. From what I can see, the ship is identical.

    All the best

    I know this sounds a little strange, but the symbol may be similar to one used as a vehicle marking by a Polish unit in the west during WWII......

    I can't find my copy of Lt Col Howard Coles "Heraldry In War Formation Badges" to check.

    Snoopy,

    I belive that you are correct on this one as the ships appear to be identical. Thanks for your help,
