Re: WM20 Uncovered Tank markings

Inevitably, if a bike saw post-war service then any tank markings are likely to be post-war. A light or "Cobalt" blue background indicates Royal Engineers. What is the number ?

Re: WM20 Uncovered Tank markings

Thank you for the prompt reply.

The number is 168

Still an interesting history none the less

Thank you

Adam

Re: WM20 Uncovered Tank markings

Thank you for the information!

Was nice to see it emerge from underneath the many other layers of paint.

Maybe there is another layer underneath to scrape back!

Many thanks,

Adam

Re: WM20 Uncovered Tank markings

Tf it doesn't have any white lines above, below or diagonally, it pretty much has to be post-war. In the mid-war schedules, 150 - 189 were on green and issued to the Royal Armoured Corps.

The purpose of Arm of Service serials was to confuse the enemy. Unfortunately, these days they only confuse old vehicle owners. :grimacing:
