Grasshopper Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 They were painted light stone and had the invasion chevron applied 4 days before the invasion (thats when the order went out). The chevrons were sprayed, brushed or even applied using a hand! Other unit markings depended on how much time the unit in question had on there hands. It was not uncommon for vehicles to display no unit markings. Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny666 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 GS and FFR land rovers were used in the gulf as when the army pulled out there is a tale that they buried 50 series 3 landys as it was cheaper to write them off than fetch em back. alot were painted light stone, light stone and black (once in operation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
