Cdn Army M152 Radio Van

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Chris Preston sent me the following (I've resized the photos so they will load to MLU)

Very Many Thanks for the offer to help. I've attached three photos of the interior of the vehicle (radio compartment) which is almost ready for final fitting-out. My brother-in-law is thinking of replacing the flooring before going any further, but isn't sure on what to replace it with or where to purchase it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers,

This looks to be the same Brown Battleship Linoleum used on US S56 radio shelters. It is still available but the question is finding somebody who will order the relatively small 8x12 feet chunk. Smaller chunks like 3x3 and smaller seem to come up through the craft suppliers. Searching the web it comes up in the craft area for making block prints. Take a look at https://letterpresscommons.com/linoleum/ for example. Most common color is Gray but did find several listing for brown.

Hope this helps Chris

Cheers Phil
