Engineers and camoflage

[Rob Beale]

How were the nets held up over vehicles?

I have seen modern hoops in pairs on telescopic poles and plastic frisbee like disks to go on poles, but nothing to describe how WW2 nets were held up. Did they use forked sticks? or was there a special piece of kit?

I have seen a scheme where 7 or so wooden poles of unequal length were threaded on a rope and tied to a truck, and then erected to raise the net clear of the vehicle to disguise its outline, BUT no detail of the top ends of the poles.
