May I remind you that the 1st Royal Tank Regiment at Little Aden had quite a few pink painted vehicles including Land Rovers, Ferrets, Bedfords and Centurion tanks! Mercifully the Regimental Air Troop Siouxs were exempt from such frivolity. They retained the European theatre brown and green camo and bore the legend ARMY on both of the fuel tanks. When they were handed over to the Royal Marines all that was necessary for them to do was to paint out the A and Y.
