C8AX Tac Sign

[Ken Hughes]

Fred tells me that NZ sold about 9 C8AXs to australia after the war.
Also that the Kiwis were at a base in Aus for a while and left all their vehicles behind?
A fair bit of pilfering went on during the war by all our lot and it was nothing to pinch
a vehicle and redo the numbers etc overnight!( Canadian jeep)
Look at the Kiwi converted sliding roof hatch Keith found on a F or C 60L some years ago
I have seen the NZ numbering system ranging from nz19..... nz22....nz23....nz24......etc.
there was some talk a while back that those numbers 19 thru to 24 or so pertained to areas
of registration like Wellington,Auckland, Christchurch and Dunedin etc,but we still dont really know.Perhaps Geoff Plowman would have some insight into this?.
