stivvy Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 hi all, found this painted on RHS wing of a series 2a Land rover, does it have any meaning apart from the obvious no8? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivor Ramsden Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) It's the Arm of Service mark and denotes an Infantry Battalion in an Infantry Brigade Group. Is there any sign of another marking on the opposite wing or on the tailgate? If you can uncover it, it will tell you which Infantry Bde Group. Judging by the Light Stone paint it served in the Middle East. I've got photos of vehicles numbered close to yours serving in Libya and Aden.

stivvy Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 hi ivor thanks for the interesting news the wing came off a donor vehicle im afraid and the other one is not light stone however the rover 8 im restoring is very likely from the same batch of vehicles that served in the middle east it would be nice to see any photos because i dont have any history RLC museum dont have records for mine either according to geoff fletcher my chassis number became 08EK67 and was under contract WV496 but might not be correct because in that contract there were only 12v vehicles while mine has a lot of 24V evidence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
