Dear Jay,

Kingston vehicles are quite good by comparison to other bases.

Last weekend I toured through Meaford and was gob smacked by the pale pea green colour the vehicles there are painted.

I did not take any pictures, the light was bad and it was at the end of the day.

Robin

having served in several of those vehicles during my time, and specifically having crewed one of them for several years in Petawawa, the pukey green is embarrasing. I tried but was unable to sway the decision of a bean counter who argued that cheap was more important than "pride in the uniform". New Army I guess... I'll stop ranting now.

Jay I just finished painting all the ones at the Gagetown Museum, for 35.00 bucks a gallon it can be fixed, and its waterbased for all the new tree huggers!

Unless my monitor is way off in adjustment, I think the colours shown pretty much reflect what I consider as the 3 colours of Cdn cam.
