Arthur, please email me (click on my name and it should open an email window) with your email address and I have some information from the Irish Military Vehicles book. This will be purely for your own research and not for publication anywhere; I am very careful about copyright, even if the book is virtually unobtainable. I borrowed it in England on an Inter Library loan and it came from a Reference Library in Ireland!
Adrian is right, 'battleship grey' is the stated colour and it is, I assume, similar to Admiralty Home Fleet grey. Whatever that was.....quite a dark grey, I believe, darker than most modern warships.
Best wishes,
John |
