Quick landrover Question. Chevrons

[paul connor]

Ok, trying to work out what Chevrons are for what era?

Golf war one is "^" so I gather.

Now its ">" is that right? some people seem to tell me the ">" if nearside and offside its "<"

 

Also, does anyone have a few pictures of them on a Landrover..

 

 

Many thanks in Advance

One each way would be apt. Britsh military don't know if thier coming or going. :-D

[paul connor]

Forward facing one would assume.

Is there an EMER or Regulation for the sizing of the Chevron, colour or indeed the angle to which they bend..

 

I like to be precise

Paul,

 

The side ways chevrons are supposed to point to the left whichever way they are viewed. This is my Wolf just after it came back from Iraq..

Paul,

 

The ^ was up until about 1998. It was painted on the vehicles in black during the 1st Gulf War, and then in white during the balklands ect.

 

They then turned it on its side for Afghan and Iraq invasion, as above, and since about 2005 it is now a V. Look at pics of my WMIK for ideas.

 

Size seems to vary between Units, but it was suppose to be pianted in Infrared reflective paint. The idea being that the rest of the vehicle absorbs IR, so through an IR scope, the only thing you should see is the coalition marking (as that is what it is).

 

Hope that helps.
