[seekeerz]

oh gee, is it really !! I know the colour but not that it's also the name of the cloth !! I'm getting too old for this game !! thanks

[gen2]

. . . and there was me thinking you were into horsey things.

I think (won't see the paper for a few hours) they are:
Scarlet
Earth
White
Brown
so my guesses (if correct) are:

CAPTAIN Scarlet
Earth MOTHER
White SMOKE
NEWCASTLE Brown

Good luck, all.

I'll go for:

Scarlet TANAGER
PLANET Earth

Thanks and gook luck everyone!
