As I said Tony, if you are convinced, fine.

I'm not.

Jack, that's the nature of a good discussion: you don't always have to agree at the end, simply respect the other opinion, then have a couple of beers!

So Mike, how would you explain these carriers freshly painted in 2-tone scheme November 43 in NSW...?

Tony

Not that I know anything about the paint details but the photo says "in for rectification". This to my mind means they are not new and could well be unissued stocks, built long ago, back to the factory for latest modifications before being issued for the first time.

I have absolutely no evidence but from the photo description, old stock is of equal weight to newly painted. Easy to read into anything what suits your argument while the bloke in disagreement reads the opposite from the same evidence.

Keep it going!

Lang

Good point Lang, I think you're probably right. So the question is, what colours are we seeing here?

Mike I'll take you up on those beers if I ever get to Washington, I hear they've got some great brewpubs over there!
