Anybody have pics of 6840 in the maritime cammo with the Castle & Eagle roundel ...
All my pics are from 2003 onwards, & by then the roundel was painted over, prior to her being re-sprayed in the all grey scheme.

I was involved in bringing ZS-MRR and ZS-MRS up to the same standard as the rest of the fleet (If memory serves they were the first conversions). This was somewhere in '92/'93. Then 6855 from a shell to completion and finally 6882 the 1st maritime dak. But I left before that one was completed. |

Was this at Ysterplaat or Snake Valley ?
