LarryH57 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Guys, not owning a WW2 truck, I would like to know what paint colour was used on the inside of Allied vehicle cabs. I have read that they usually matched the exterior and recent posts on here suggest that is the case. Understandably if you open a white painted cab door it might show up to the enemy. So where did the idea come from that ‘eau de nil’ was introduced? Was it just an 'RAF think' or post war think with Gloss Bronze Green? BTW - for clarity I'm excluding the internal colours of Office and Medical trucks that I know where white or cream to provide light. So its just the cabs I'm interested in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 In 1953 the RAF issued a lengthy AMO giving the future colours to be used in the various geographic theatres of operations. This AMO introduced Eau De Nil but initially only for all types of FIRE vehicles. Ted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 So in WW2 it was just the outside colour to use for inside the cab. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 That is my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
