lynx42 Rick Cove Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have had a post on HMVF about this in British Vehicles section without a great deal of success. I thought I would post my request here in Aviation as it seems that the only arm of the British forces to use such a truck is the RAF. I have a 1977 Leyland with the 'G' cab and wish to paint it in RAF colours. These photos show the type of truck I have and I am hoping someone out there has an idea of the correct colour. The photo comes from flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/merf29/with/5687182388/). If you have any information, photos,etc of the 'G' Cab Leyland, I would appreciate it. Regards Rick.
