Vehicle markings at Suez, in 1956

ISTR reading in Light Dragoons The Making of a Regiment, ISBN-10: 1844154483 that an element of 15/19H was in Libya at the time and on receiving the warning order for Op Musketeer, they set about activating all the in-country standby Centurions in preparation. One of the few times a set of dry-clad tanks had been activated, apparently.

 

Since those vehicles were presumably marked up for operations in Libya, it may be somewhere to start.

 

But I don't have the book to hand (I am sat at me desk in the office) and I only spotted this snippet after about four reads through, so don't quote me as Gospel.
