This may be a false memory but I think I recall, just wondering if anyone can confirm.

My dad was a member of the AA and had the yellow badge on the front of the car. Whenever an AA man saw the vehicle he saluted and I am sure I remember saluting back. This would have been early-mid 60s.

Can anyone remember if this was a real protocol of the AA?

Yes it was, I think that I remember they stopped it in the eighties.

Yes...that was true ...although I can’t say when it stopped being the protocol.

That was when AA men rode about on a bike and sidecar

Yes it was. In 1958 I was 17 years old and visiting England with my mother. Our host, a businessman who owned a famous manufacturing business, drove us around in his Bentley, and I saw an AA man salute us. I asked why and it was explained.

Thanks, just checking that I wasn’t totally fantasising!

Posted by webspider555I’m beginning to wonder whether our government is just incompetent or are all these things happening just to get us in a rage arguing amongst ourselves.
