Oddball Military Vehicle Paint scheme

Recommended Posts

I am often reminded that some military vehicles had to be painted in colours to make them stand out rather than melt into the background, they for the most part are rare now de-mobbed. The two that spring to mind on this forum are Jessie the Jeep chap and that Karrier (sp) air traffic control vehicle and I think there was a Bedford TK in the same colours.

 

I spotted a Land Rover in the following clip at the 2.30 mark that would be hard not to get comments about if shown these days, would love to see it done.

Didn't see any Tooms in there - Lighting, Valiant, Javelin, Canberra. At least they managed several minutes of Lighting footage without any of them catching fire.

 

Was the Karrier you were thinking of the one that used to be at Middle Wallop, then moved over to the museum - red and white chequered like the side of the Landy in the film?
