Bazz Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Looking at some old QOY pics I can't find any with ans Explorer on, but another with other recovery vehs and they don't have any markings except union flag front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recymech66 Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Any sort of Coy markings haven't been used for many years, not officially anyway. The only real exception to this is Sqn triangle, square, circle which goes around the callsign, also some tank Sqn's still name their tanks with a name starting with the letter of that Sqn ie A, B, C, D. As Bazz say's with Union flag sticker. There are other exceptions obviously like Opfor but these are not permenant markings.

scammell 7377 Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 thank you both for replying but what is the lazy D ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Lazy D is when the D is lying so the straight upright is lying down, so it looks like an arch. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
