That's great to hear Mike and thanks for sharing the website, hopefully it means more information and pictures of data plates can be added to the website.

That's very interesting to hear about the lacking of stamping information into the hulls and difficulty in identifying them. I'm writing a article on British tank data plate specifically at the moment so ill definitely include this.

From a practical sense not stamping the data doesn't make much sense as the plates were often souvenired by the crews after a tour or the ones on the out side of the hulls fell off when damaged or knocked. The dragon light IIc plate being a prime example as it was found near Salisbury plain and presumably fell off during a exercise.
