The original SAS and LRDG jeeps used in North Africa in WW2 were painted pink to blend into the landscape which is why they're still referred to as 'pinkies' today. http://www.lr-mad.co.uk/en/pink-pantherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251457656634423713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-17061046497902385972015-10-03T21:16:48.276-05:002015-10-03T21:16:48.276-05:00Roy - she's worth the trip to Portsmouth to se...Roy - she's worth the trip to Portsmouth to see, along with the attached naval museum.
