Hi everyone,

For my deuce, here in the UK, I’m putting her in Recon supply truck mode, with bumper markings - 29-115-I R16
In honour of those who left Cornwall for D-Day 81 years ago, this unit I believe also serves in Iraq during the second conflict?

I’ve got 19 Jerry cans that I believe were marked “JP8” and sprayed yellow around the top?
I’ve also got plenty of various ammo cans and MRE boxes to display with it as well as a massive camp net with the helicopter camp net supports and poles

I have a huge Old Glory to fly from the gun ring mount and I also want to fly the POW / MIA flag along side,

Could someone clarify on the Jerry can markings,

Many thanks

Karl

Yellow on a fuel can usually denotes diesel. JP-8 is jet fuel, and unless the cans were from a unit that operated in extreme cold conditions, I have no idea of why they'd put JP-8 in 5 gallon cans. That may have been necessary for operations in arctic conditions. Deuces could run on that, so that may be the explanation of why they had fuel cans for it. The yellow marking was more of a local unit decision.
