  1. .... HMS BULWARK and ALBION had, by that time, already been converted into helicopter carriers in order to provide platforms for RM deployments ....

    With my compliments. So interesting news.

     

    Do you know something about HMS BULWARK with L5 Pack Howitzer on deck? i saw one pic where L5 are firing from deck. I belive that HMS BULWARK was carrying an unknown RHA in Middle East Area (Aden? when? which RHA bty). Do you know if there are other pics with howitzers on deck? Do you know if HMS ALBION did it too?

     

    Thanks in advance

  2. As Clive stated, the spec for the time was light stone and deep bronze green - I have little doubt that there were variations on this in the field though.

     

    Thanks so much. Do you have any idea about gloss black or dark green used? is it always a deep bronze green?

  3. About BSC 381C No. 361 Light Stone i found a colour photo of L5 Pack Howitzer - 1st RHA 1965.

     

    Sand colour looks different from Light Stone. It looks close to No.352 Pale Cream.

    Dark colour looks a gloss black.

     

    On other hand i found a photo with 2 colours camo and it looks with No.361 Light Stone and a matt dark green that is different from Deep Bronze Green.

  4. Hi All,

    I am searching colour references (like BS381C or RAL) for vehicles and weapons used by British Army in Aden and Radfan 1961-1967.

     

    From black and whiTe photos I found:

    - 2 colours camo: light sand and black (or dark green). It is difficult to understand from pics;

    - 1 colour camo: light sand;

    - overall green, probabily deep bronze green (gloss or semigloss?).

     

    Thanks in advcance for any help.

    Regards
