MK1* Engine number

[Lynn Eades]

Tom I cant help, but here is some other info.
Your carrier once belonged to an Alan Watson.
He sold it to Tony Renouf.
Tony died and Andrew bought it from Alan's wife.
Your "T" number is correct. There is another carrier here in N.Z. running your T number.
Ross Hopkins sold a Carrier to Wayne Douglas T53654. It is 10 off your number.
It was an uncut hull but I'm not sure it went with an engine.
This might be the one you are talking of.

I have a piece of a side plate with T53043. Its lower hull number was 4291.
I have repaired the floor from it and am building up a hull with lower number 4282.

The New Zealand owned Canadian carriers were all early ones and have had a hard life. It is unlikely to find a carrier here with an original number. There are only a handful of survivors anyhow.
