    Well depends if your in the Olympics as well...

    This story is a little bit of bunkum in my view..

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/may/15/army-colour-camouflage-brown

    Author seems to forget that the army for years painted their little tankettes and bigger tanks and APC's in a green sort of thing...For Rhine duties etc....Do folk think A RTR battle hide hulls down would have Challengers and the like painted in daygo yellow...Dosverdania...Brit I see your yellowish army down there....Ivan..yes Boris...let loose the dogs of war...fire all ground rockets on my command....Ve'll give you Bocage....

    I did immediately think of Bronze Green. Thought they do at least say 'Desert vehicles'.

    And then there is, of course, The Berlin Brigade Pattern.
