2 Pounder Carrier discovered and recovered

[Pedr]

Evening folks.

Spent the evening with Colin Jones last night talking carriers and stuff. I can enfatically state that 6002 is numbered simply " 2 ".

Thusly, a conversation started with regard to the actual physical number of the carrier.

It was argued that 6002 was infact the third carrier off the production line as it is believed that they commenced the numbering from 6000.

My belief is that it was the second off the line - hence the number 2, and that as a result the 2pdr AT carriers started at 6001 being the first number.

What is the general opinion?
