Hi all, I know it's been a while since anyone added anything more to this thread, but I have recently picked up a metal water can from a local auction. The can is dated 1954 and I assume that it has its original BLACK paint. Whilst cleaning it up I found RAF and 21C/2879 stencilled on one side, there is evidence of the indentations painted white (sprayed not brushed) and white markings under the handles, again sprayed on. The black paint only has a layer of red oxide primer under it so I assume that unless there was a refurbishment programme for Jerricans that this was originally supplied in BLACK. Just another curio to stir the mind Regards

Having been introduced to the world of military vehicles by the other half I have now got my own Ferret and 101 Land Rover. The novelty of stripping down vehicles in the cold and wet still hasnt worn off yet so hoping to add to the collection when I have a garden/garage large enough to keep a tank! Lynne
