I know of three privately held Canadian 11 sets and two more in museums. Not exactly awash with them like 19 sets!!

In terms of rarity , the most elusive version these days is the British set.
1. British....Most of these were lost with the BEF
2. Canadian.......... How many are known of ?
3. Australian.......... Fairly common .
I feel that the AWA set was built to a tight budget . it fell down in many respects. Cheap components , the paper capacitors and the low quality genemotor castings plus the heavy steel cabinets. The Aust. army didn't think much of them either , because they were declared surplus and disposed of as the last bullets were being fired
