Yes exactly right, well done Richard. Size does matter & everyone seemed to miss the clue about size in an earlier reply. Just for the finale, cos it ain't over yet, what was the purpose of this cover? Edited November 21, 2009 by Marmite!! Photo links repaired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can because I came 6th in a dog with the waggiest tale competition :-D As far as camouflage goes with horses and mules, they were also subject to what is known as a Hobday operation. This involves making an incision in the throat and removing the vocal cords. Now only used for veterinary reasons. Also light coloured animals were sometimes washed with Iodine. to darken them. My old Veterinary lecturer at college was ex RAVC. You think military vehicles can give problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
