I will see what I can find in my Dad's files and revisit the NAAFI with Mum and pick this up in the YOUR RELATIVES Thread.

Thanks, Mike

With regards to wartime production activities in Australia and New Zealand, and looking at it 'from the outside', how much did the two countries rely on each other for equipment?

For example, the SMLE was produced at Lithgow for the Australian military and at least some of this production went to New Zealand for conversion to an indigenous machine gun manufactured there. CAC built aircraft in Australia but I am not sure if any of this equipment went to New Zealand. Not to mention delivery of American equipment to both countries.

What other production/exchange took place?
