Scout T5329

[Ben]

I've also been looking at some old photos to help understand the stowage. I took a closer look at a shot that I'd had a while and noticed the "T" number 5332. That makes the third carrier shown in a period photo all within a couple of numbers of each other from the same Aveling Barford contract.

RMY 681, T5327, Capuzzo North Africa
RMY 683, T5329, Perth Australia (assumed returned from North Africa)
RMY 686, T5332, Captured BEF

It made me wonder how carriers were issued. The T5332 shot shows what I believe to be the first scheme they were painted when they left the factory.

If anyone has any info on how vehicles were issued early in the war and if any records survive I'd be interested to hear from them.

Thanks

Ben
