Does anyone know if 'mickey mouse' camouflage was ever used on British Jeeps (ie ones used by the infantry etc, so not specialised airborne ones)? Have seen it on a couple on the show circuit, with a completely black bonnet, although would have thought that with such a low profile on the Jeep they wouldn't have really bothered, haven't noticed any pictures in the 'British Wartime Jeep' book of any with it.

Look at the front of the book, (picture in color with Monty sitting on front bumper)

Hi all,

I like to introduce myself. Living in Oosterbeek, inside the perimeter of the former battlefield Battle of Arnhem. My house has still scars (bullet holes, etc.) of the battle. Interested in all kind of Airborne vehicles, books and battle relics. I own a Willys 1943 1th. Airborne Mod. and original 10CWT lighweight Airborne trailer. Every year a few of the remaining vets come over to Oosterbeek. Sometimes I'll take them for a ride trough the LZ en DZ and of course, to the bridge. So if you ever come over for the rememberance in september, don't hesitate to contact me.

Cheers, Wiljo
