On reflection, I think the outline of my number "9" is a bit top-heavy and may need re-drawing, as we like to be as historically accurate as possible. My mates are suggesting that T2 would be more appropriate for "Te Aroha III" as the truck was re-numbered T2 for the Barce raid in which the LRDG destroyed thirteen enemy planes on Barce airfield and damaged many others. Nearly all of the trucks in T patrol (including "Te Aroha III") were destroyed by retaliatory enemy fighter attacks, as they scurried back to base after the raid.
