Tony, have you any news on these big RED numbers painted on the side of carrier hulls. I'm cleaning up an old British MkI hull, likely by the bits off it, made by Wolseley. It has the RED numbers 1166 painted on the side from the rear suspension back, the numbers are 325mm high, 40mm thick. I'd post a photo but you just can't see anything with the camera.
