Rootes75, I have only been using my phone, just tried on the PC, had to sign in, and my password was accepted first time. Still have to reset password on the phone. 

Until a couple of days I was permanently signed into the forum but now I have to sign in everytime. The next problem is that my password is rejected and I receive the message 'Your account has been locked. Try again in 14 minutes', but when I try to sign in again, my password is still rejected, and I'm sure that I haven't entered my password incorrectly time after time. I have found that the only way to sign in is the 'Forgotten password' route. By resetting my password I'm on the forum but the next time that I want to look at the forum, again I'm not permanently signed in, and my password is again rejected etc. 

Am I the only one with this problem? 

Hoping that someone can help me. 

On Glenmarsh's results for the auction it is 'Awaited (unsold)'

So as I read that, for soft skin vehicles late 1941 on it would be SCC2?

A couple of amendments were issued leading to additions and deletions, not all relevant to buildings. From 1944 SCC15 (Olive Drab) took over from SCC2 (brown). It was meant to be similar to US Army Olive Drab No 9 and was adopted with Lend-Lease and the painting of vehicles in mind. Another colour – SCC 19 – was the colour for tropical clothing and personal equipment.

There doesn't appear to be a equivalent RAL number. From Army Vehicle Markings, RAL 6014 + RAL 6003 = SCC15

On a phone, click on the 3 dots to the far right of your name. I haven't looked at it on a PC but I assume that it is the same.
