Carrier Data plates

[George McKenzie]

I will check with the manufacture as to how soon he wants to start making these plates .The publication plate can be run off anytime so they will be all the same .But some of our carriers are in storage and can't get to them for information so those may have to wait for a second run . Now for the information on the plate .Modle can be found by what type of carrier you have MK1 or MK!! ,and a #1 #2 or #3 ect. Serial # was on the top of the front armament ,but can be guessed at if you have other numbers on the hull .Engine number is on the top of the clutch housing under the mounting bracket for the oil cooler regulater valve . my Mk 11 has a rebuilt motor At the end of the war they ran out of motor blocks and had to use rebuilt motors from vehicles . The CD # Where does this number come from ? Is is the production number of this modle of carrier made ?You will see it on other carriers . such as 2609 . 1555 .Nigel Watson"s book has alot of numbers for carriers . the Built date was on the front armor .If it,s gone you will have to do some more calculating to get it . Can anyone add to this or correct me on this ? By making more plates at the same time we will get a better price
