These days, it's necessary, in some areas, to have anti-RPG cages on, to force the detonation a bit early. They also give an opportunity for hanging some camouflage on. This is a Spartan under all that.

A friend of mine has just been to Liverpool - this is the café at the Tate gallery - done in a Peter Blake Dazzle Ships style.

Mmm, I was just wondering if the cavalry ever got issued with zebras....

Right, well it seems that some cavalry horses did actually get painted up in a dazzle scheme during the East Africa campaign in WW1..

You mean dazzle ponies, right?:D

 

Yeah, probably more of a pony - on the small side..

Some US ships still carried dazzle camouflage in WW2.

No photo description available.

The ship in the picture, along with 23 others, was built in sections in the Rocky Mountains, then transported 1,000 miles to the coast for final assembly.
