Hi!
I just got a copy of "Landing zone Lebanon", and asked myself it the AAV7 was used painted white with UN logo in any UN mission. When landing in Lebanon (Unifil), vehicles only showed the letters UN on a white base with the vehicles remaining in camouflage. A lot of vehicles of different countries/types were painted white later during the mission, did that also happen to the AAV7? Or was AAV7 used painted white in any other UN mission? Google searches did not come up with any information on that subject.

Thank you very much for a comment!

Hi!
Thanks for supplying the picture. Not just an UN vehicle, but quite interesting to see though. Do you now in which country it was taken? Is it an US vehicle?

Thanks again!
Andreas
