There is a Sherman owned by a Frenchman that turns up at shows and major
ceremonies painted a horrid blue, he is absolutely convinced it is correct
and was used by the Royal Navy in Normandy - its all a bit strange, he will
not budge on the colour being wrong, but it does have a nice retrofit of a
Cummins diesel. I suspect Hano or someone else will know a bit more on this
one...... it isn't a BARV but a normal turreted Sherman and I can't recall
which model. It looks ghastly.
Perhaps we can continue this theme of "outing" vehicles in inappropriate /
unusual colours and paint schemes? lets name and shame.....Hours of fun
ahead boys...... and then
the lawyers get a chance of more work........
