    There are several, nearly a dozen.
    To get the correct one: Any idea of theatre and date?

    Looks most probably like XII/622/1 /Type "A") or XII 629/1 (Type "B"), both effective from 25-02-1944.
    There is another for use with Italian increment.

    Hhi there,

    I know this is an old thread but, piggy-backing on to it, I don't supose you have a similar publication for Heavy Anti Aircraft Workshop, REME, Western Europe, August 1944? I'm trying to research 98th Heavy AA Workshop and it's slim pickings.

    Thanks!

    This might be the one you're looking for. I don't think I've seen a differentiation between Type A and Type B Workshops for Heavy AA Regts but I think Type B was particular to Mobile Regts.
