Veh tac signs...post war

[Scott Bentley]

These photos were sent to me by someone from another Forum. The caption is as follows:

In 1978, a Recce Troop from the Windsor Regiment was flown over to Lahr on a call-out to serve as the RHQ Recce Troop for the RCD. At that time, the RCD did not keep a Call Sign "60" on a regular basis. As a result, we had to draw our Jeeps from a couple of different sources. Some were from war storage, and others were signed over by the Sqn OCs and the COs personal rover. Therefore the Tac Signs were painted over and the Call Signs painted on by us. CFRs were stenciled onto the front and rear bumpers, so CFR plates were not attached.

In this case, these M151A2s all have the 3 Color Cam Pattern, but yet the ECC is clearly painted on in white. Goes to show ya, rules were all written in pudding

Hello Scotty

I knew somebody had some more info to add.

It looks like the white CFR on the front bumper followed the British and US tradition of not having licence plates.

Odd considering we did use the DND plate overseas as well and even provincial plates when they were issued.

Thanks

Eric
