This may help re the use of paint to mark Water cans and other kit... My local regiment, The Royal Yorkshire Regiment, uses the following colours to identify kit at Company level. Not sure if it's standard across all companies/squadrons... A Company red B Company green C Company black D Company yellow HQ Company blue This is a page from the Regimental handbook -

Hi Clive Here's the other one; it looks like it was painted yellow then over-painted in red. It also has a vehicle registration number on the side and partially on the top. -

Hi Clive I have two cans, but only have a pic of one for now... first photo has a blue panel and 180 in white paint on the top (Tasha is my daughters horse...I use the water cans for that) My other has more markings incl a vehicle number...will add pics tomorrow. The second and third pic I found online some time ago...it's got a blue panel under the handle and a square patch on the side. I remember when i was a CQMS, we painted a coloured panel on pretty much everything...colour depending on the Company. If it could be carried away, it was painted -

No...just wondered what Coy's each colour relates to. I recall blue, yellow and red...not sure about the other. And what Company's they relate to...I.E. Red is A Coy etc? -

Thanks everybody; some really useful info there. I have two...one with blue paint and one with red. I know it relates to the Coy/Sqdn...but what are the other colours and which Coy/Sqdn do they relate to? -

Hi chaps I'm researching Falklands Scimitar and Scorpions and they all have extra stowage in the form of Rarden ammo boxes and/or 81mm ammo boxes. Does anyone have these boxes please? I'm after good photo's and accurate measurements? Thanks for any help in advance. Cheers Smudge
