TAFF MISSED "informed"
Hi all!
Nice thread by the way, and chuckled to see some of the postings!
I thought Id chip in and set the record straight!
Huey Green was never meant to be Lynx or Gazelle Green. The conumdrum was to choose a colour that would be "acceptable" to the military, whilst being able to flip-flop between mil and civ registers without causing too much angst. We didnt want it to be mistaken for a police cab or even one of the DHFS fleet.
Now, being rather an imaginative bunch with too much access to the internet, we showed our age by looking at schemes used on the Thunderbirds. TB2 was a top scheme, and the swatch (leaf-green) was a good comparitor. Obviously, the Swedes (who painted it), seemed to have had a bubble at our expense! We could ask for a breach of contract as FBH didnt apply the yellow banding or the red exhausts, but there are more important things to play with!!
Personally speaking, i think the Camoflauge Working Group need to get out more!
