I have found a couple of markings under the paint on my 88' swb, both in the same place on the front doors. It looks like a head & shoulder side view bust with what looks like a long stick coming up in front of the head with material or something tied to the stick shaft, then what looks like a curved blade of some sort that goes over the head like a sythe on a long stick. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is or how i can find out about it..

Does it look anything like the picture  to this post?

It's a very crappy photo of the windscreen tac symbol used by my last unit - 6 GS Sqn RLC.  Its commonly called the sarascen and the picture is of the simplified version used for sub-unit recognition when out on loops or in harbors etc, there's a lot of history behind it, but as per usual with REME I didn't bother my arrse to learn it!

Can find out more though if you want - if its a similar thing..........

:evil: Edited to moan about crappy computers, phones and other stuff that makes it too feckin difficult to get a simple photo of a bit of luminous plastic film on the side of a thermal cup onto a web-page. :evil:

Will try again at the weekend!

craftycarper:
sounds interesting...keep me posted, would like to see the pics

frosty:
and i thought i was the only REME bod to pay [!Expletive Deleted!] all attention to what went on outside the workshop/ fitter section!

Just found another picture of it - its on my company car, Here on ORRP

Look at the top left of the windscreen of Mr 62. Ignore the spanner under it, (that just lets everyone know I'm the 5th emergency service), its the top bit I'm on about.  Thats the Saracens Head.  Look familiar?
