Nice, thanks for posting. Shame they weren't colourised in the right shades, that Mk IV should be khaki brown, and I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true for the supply carrier.

Another attempt to con us into believing that the world wasn't gray then.

Hi,

it is sad that true colour films had not been invented earlier the Victorian era was one of the most colourful, for peoples fashions & clothing etc. after Analine dies came out in the 1860's the bright colours that people wore then, make anything you see today pale as they often contrasted colours so garishly just for the fun of it.

Bladder cancer was one of the first cancers shown to be industrially associated and has an important place in the history of occupational disease.

In 1895 Rehn reported cases of bladder cancer in a German aniline dye factory. There was a rapid shift towards grey that prevailed for some considerable time throughout Europe.

Aniline dyes were cheap and colourfast unlike the traditional vegetable dyes.
