Re. Kookaburra, thanks Matt,

Your photo actually shows "1 ATC" above the serial number, on the side of the hull. The batch of ten of these light tanks were originally delivered to 1st and 2nd Light Tank Companies in NSW and Victoria respectively, having five each. My interest in these was the involvment in the restoration of another of this batch, "Platypus" and I have been able to find quite a bit of information on them. I would be interested to see photos of any more of these, if you find them.
