We are attending a couple of WW2 events with our 37 Hillman in the near future, for one of the events we have been asked to carry some dignatories.
I would like to fit a staff car pennant but am having trouble finding one. Anyone out there. Have one or any info where I can find photos etc?

Have you looked at http://www.milweb.net
Seems a good place to start a search.

I can't help you with your request, but WWII staff cars are vehicles I do research extensively for my eventual book.

A magnetic base for a 2-way (CB) radio might be a starting point.
or, of all places, try a funeral company who may have magnetic flags for the procession cars.

That might be a good idea. We ended up taking a Winston Churchill reenactor out on a town tour last weekend.
