Denison smocks, painting them.

Walloon Belgian brick or Flemish Belgian brick?

Or is it EU brick?

4 sets of DPM! Us poor techies only got one set.

Two issued at IOT, two stolen from techies...

I nearly acquired a Goretex DPM smock that had been left on a weapon loading pit but it was claimed by a snowdrop before my shift ended. I suppose the RAFP band below the chevrons were a bit of a giveaway.

Whereas I can get anal about shades as well, anything close will do because, as noted, it'll vary. As much as anything else with exposure to the elements.

Can't remember where I saw it (possibly even here!) but I've seen a photo of a car park full of BRDM-1 APCs. Each one presumably factory painted the same colour.

Not one of them actually being the same colour....

Indeed. When we got military flying-suits fresh out of the packet they were a bright, fresh thistle-green. After a few months, exposure to air and sunlight turned them a khaki-green and after a couple of years they would be almost brown in colour.

Red done, now for green!



Any ideas on the turnback colour?

Known to one and all as gro-bags because they were green and full of shit.
