    I’m no airdrop container nerd, but https://tinyurl.com/yyrh7zy9 shows some 3-D artwork by someone who obviously is.

    I can find no evidence of the US using British containers other than for carpetbagger drops, but then I haven’t looked very hard.

    Even Mr. Picky would be hard pushed to bleat about it if you cut down a CLE and called it an A4.

    Moreover, none of the container shapes look especially challenging for even modest scratch-building skills.

    All the best,

    John.
