Interesting photo with the camoflage, stowage and the cleanliness.
This photo is reproduced in Nigel Watsons Carrier book, vol 2, pg 59- he lists them as 3" mortar carriers on parade. |

Thank you all for the replies. It's interesting how many photos you see on ebay that end up or have already been published in books.

the same cammo was carried over into Sicily on many carriers, from Mike Starmers books the colours are most likely light stone base with the dark blue/black disruptive. the pattern itself as per the general orders forms state there must be no vertical lines on the disruptive..... hopefully mine will be like these when done.
