December 26, 2019 at 5:39 pm #173028LaurenceParticipantThanks..that leads to my final question about deck:
Home fleet steel decks 1936-1943 were painted dark grey, same the wooden deck of Vospers in this period?What about the dark blue-grey paint (B.5/B.15)- was used for decks as well for Home Fleet, or only for vessels including coastal forces in Mediterranean?

For sources have a look into
arships Number 13 Vosper in Action by squadon Signal.For look you might also look into my older Vosper Posts, based on the sources.
December 26, 2019 at 5:48 pm #173032LaurenceParticipantMy question was because in the book from John Lambert & Al Ross “Allied Coastal Forces of World War II Vol. II
page 176 it says:
“[..] following areas were to be painted dark blue-grey (B.15): the deck [..]”page 177: “As a rule, RN coastal forces craft used only B.15, G.45, and white [..]”.
But in other info I cannot find a confirmation of so I wonder why they stated such.
Thanks again, I will check your older Vosper posts.
