I know my memory ain't what it used to be - but isn't that mast topper called a "pineapple"??

Yes - formally EVHF informally a Pineapple. Clansman Green was Matt Deep Bronze Green

 

See: http://www.hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?10293-Paint-any-colour-BS-or-RAL

 

Having said that the links on the page are both defunct - deep Bronze Green is BS381 No. 224 at http://www.e-paint.co.uk/BS381%20Colourchart.asp - it should be distinctly less "grey" than the NATO green BS 381 No. 285 and distinctly less "yellow" than Olive Green No. 220 - having said that on my LCD screen viewing angle makes more difference to the colours - certainly more than there is difference between them at some angles - than I would like so you really need a printed colour chart from a paint store to be sure of a match.

Many thanks, I have a tin of the paint in the shed

Also a correction for the name, always learning

At least putting queries on this counts as CPD

Now that's a good question, suspect gloss but need to check
