As for a load of b******s
The one I was on about was the only pink one in the Regt in the 70,s,, as rest were green and black and they were B***y horrid to drive,as I did send 3 years working on them at Hereford.
The original mix was correct 1 tin of red oxide + 1 tin of white mixed in a drip tray and hand painted with 3inch brushes, on one Friday afternoon for the Royal Tournament, I had spots of it on my smock for years.
Hi It was painted by two members of the MT troop of the Regt on a Friday afternoon for the Signal Sqn to take up to the Royal Tournament on the Monday
and it was a tin of red lead and a tin of white mixed in a drip try and brushed on with 4" brushes I know as I got it on my smock in the process
and at the time there was only one pinky with the Regt in the UK at the time as the rest where green and black
Cheers Mick
