Hi Mark:

As always, a great response with clear answers to the questions! Thanks!!

I know I will get some howls from various quarters but, as I explained in my earlier post, we will likely mark up the Alligator to represent a 1st Northamptonshire Yeomanry Buffalo playing taxi to the SD&G on the Rhine. We will carefully explain in the indoor exhibit in their great little museum, the difference between the Alligator and the Buffalo. The outdoor signage will likely be a simple bilingual label along the lines of "Amphibious Landing Vehicle 'Alligator' 1941-1945"

Did the Northamptons have a space on the Buffalos to indicate the unit being transported? I'm thinking a black square that could be chalked on, as I believe the Kangaroos may have done.

Mike
