Default #1105

Darren - I thought I had passed on this information to you. To the best of my research #1105 was manufactured by the Metropolitan Gas Company in a production run of 450 between May 1941 - April 1942. The colour should be Khaki Green No.3 and if it had a disruptive that should be Light Stone. You need to ascertain whether it saw overseas service which in turn would dictate the colour scheme.

Of interest #1056 (T16532),that is currently for sale at Swanpool, was on 2nd AIF charge and on 22/11/41 left Port Melbourne on the transport ship "Thermopylae" arriving in the Middle East on 15/12/41. Possibly #1105 was on the same vessel.
