Default Brave man

HI Kevin,

I know you were working on it but this is wauuuw bolt and nut restoration of the Centaur. The fast mount of work I see that needs to be done is amazing it puts you into the group of very brave men. Looking forward to see more pictures in the future. I think p&w show 2013, little to early for you

I though that having Dingo's and Ferrets flying was something but this is amazing. Wondering only how the landing would be if you are inside.

Gents, Check out that Histomil website, thousands of hi resolution photo's, Adrian, Yes royal Marine but clearly marked 'Canadian' at the front.

Peter, I need to crack on with it after the weather clears, Your website milmarket has certainly put me in touch with useful spares for my projects, I would recommend people give it a look.

Where? All I can see written on the front is it's T number. You can't rely on captions....

Default The red white red recognition marks

Guys, I was always under the inpression the 'red white red' recognition marks were to signify Canadian?, or were they applied to British vehicles too?, or maybe that is not 'red white red' in this particulat Centaur picture?.......... I am no expert.

No, that's the British early AFV recognition mark. My Sherman had it too.
