Scania 6x6, GSs and FFRs aren't white fleet (think transits are)

The idea of the white fleet is it more economical

Would you like to explain, in more than one sentence, what the term white fleet means? Please.

White fleet are the more economical to run vehicles. These have been purchased increasingly so over the last few years. You cannot carry certain items in them. They are run abouts. They are used to perverse the life of the F/A/B Echelon vehicles.

White fleet in a military would be admin/logs vehicles that are only for internal non operational use, Dev is implying that the DFs fleet of mainly civilian vehicles will be segmented into a cheap and not to cheap category. I saw a pajero being loaded onto a ship while painted white in a recent press release, I doubt the pieces of shit could take the weight of an armour kit so they're either being sent overseas as a death trap for bods or hopefully to be written off as a camp runabout.

GSs & FFRs aren't considered white fleet in any military.

Minibuses, staff type cars etc are white fleet

So basically a VONTI.

I happened to see an Army 141 D Ford Ranger today, standard green colour....and what really caught my eye was the "truck of the year" badge on the rear. It stuck out like a sore thumb against the dark green paint. I thought the DF specified that such tat, including anything that identified the supplier, be removed from vehicles prior to acceptance.

No doubt there was a "de-badging" fee so they said feck it

[GoneToTheCanner]

I happened, one time, to see a new type being accepted by the Transport Officer and the transport lads. They were all over it, poking in and out,etc. The TO walked around to the back, saw the mudflaps with the garage name on them and saw the garage sticker in the rear window and came to an immediate halt. "Flight!" , sez he, "Get them off, now!", pointing at the offending articles. The Flight Sgt asks why...."The DF doesn't do advertising!" and he refused to accept the vehicle until the items were gone and plain mudflaps fitted.

Haha I used to see the odd FM104/98FM sticker in the back window of the older type GS's but that seems to have been stamped out...not a bad thing IMHO its not great when civvies see that sort of thing.
