Australian Carrier T-Numbers

[Roddy de Normann]

Hi to all -

I am still mighty confused ref Australian T-series numbers on their carriers. I understand the initial AIF/AMF numbers, interchangeable with the so-called Commonwealth C Number and then the hull number often used as the vehicle VRN...

My question is, did the Australian T-nos fit into the UK's T-series numbers or where they quite seperate. As far as I can judge, they were seperate.

My second question, were many UK built carriers sent to Australia or just to N Africa where they were issued to the Aussies ? Further, did they then take them home in 1941 when they bugged out ?

Finally I have a question ref the Australian Marmon Harrington tanks but will put that to the other forum !

Many thanks in advance

Roddy
