Hello All,
time for a bit of an update on 2753.
I,ve been cleaning it up slowly using a sanding wheel and today found an interesting marking on the front plate,the more i sanded it the clearer it became.

Anyway i sanded some more and 422 appeared in large flowing script,i have marked it out in chalk exactly as it is.
The number 422 is also stamped into the middle towing lug,
Ron,i reckon this would back up what you were thinking about the METGAS carriers been numbered with some sort of sequential build number.

Justin.

Default Met gas numbers

Hi Justin,
I have just checked my Met Gas carrier its number is 434, and the front towing eye is stamped 415, and on the front glacis plate there is 415,its been done with a small angle grider I would say,it seems they did it when the carriers were being assembled?? may someone else out there with a Met gas carrier could check if they also have this number carved into the glacis plate that also matches the tow eye number , Regards Ron
