Thanks for the info

Hi All,

Ive read several references to shortened Fordson 7V and WOT? trucks used as tugs by the RAF during WW2 but cannot find any pics or dimensions as I would like to build a 1/76.

Does anyone have any photos etc.

Much appreciated in anticipation.

To the best of my knowledge, over time I have seen the following:-

 

Deep Bronze green, matt green, matt green with black, matt green with black and white overlay AMFL (N), various shades of sand (Gulf War 1), sand (various) with other colour disruptive pattern (GW1), sand with green (UK + BATUS), sand with green and red (BATUS), gloss blue (BATUS adventure training vehicles), orange (NI), white, white and black.

 

Are you refering to the American favoured 3 colour scheme or the Canadian scheme?

 

Any one else want to chime in?

some interesting colours there,what was the Orange Northern Ireland vehicle for and was it uparmoured?

also trying to find pics of batus vehicles so the blue sounds interesting

Hi All

I am trying to find photos of two vehicles used in northern ireland in the 70's-80's, The first being a variant of the LandRover 109 which I think was called Panther(or Black Panther) and was open topped with a small "shed" like structure behind the driver/passenger compartment and was for countermeasures or surveillance?

The other is a VPK mobile chip van "The Codpiece", a picture of the side of this is shown in Simon Dunstans British Army in Northern ireland Book but doesnt show enough to identify make, looks to be a Bedfor CF or Transit Hawson type van,but I am trying to find clearer views .

Amy help would be appreciated
