GPA2077 registration number

Post by GPA2077 »

Can anyone tell me the origional registration number for GPA2077? Sanding carefully thru the layers of paint, I found U.S. COAST GUARD 45G751 and nothing below that. Did the Coast Guard take delivery of some GPA's or is this a transfer of assets from the Army to the Coast Guard?

What was the paint color under the Coast Guard numbers, OD , blue...? Do you have any photos you could post?

I was planning on painting my GPA in SeaBee or Coast Guard livery but have never been able to locate photos to go on. David

David,

What I can tell you is based on some info Tom Wolboldt gave to me. That is:

GPA No. Reg No.

Hope this helps.

The paint under U.S. Coast Guard was OD. The number was flat white maybe as a result of the sanding. I did not take a photo of this before sand blasting, sorry.
