On a recent visit to Waiouru. two staff officers left their camouflaged car parked on the side of a hill while they went on a tour of inspection over surrounding country. After being away for a considerable time, the officers decided to return to the car, which they could not find. It took about 10 minutes searching through binoculars before they located it, blended in naturally with the grass round it. The incident showed the effectiveness of army methods of camouflage.
