Ian,

Solved the mystery.....I was looking this up in one Rob van Meel's copies of the Chilwell records. I usually use the one with census numbers in order, but this time looked it up in another copy laid out in groups of manufacturers........and found a mistake.

You are right, it is 5219692 - 5219876. Just as a matter of interest as you are in to GPA amphibs, the following census numbers are for Trailer 2 wheel, Amphibian and made by Willys under Contract no. SM2932, census no's X5219877 - 5219880. I had never come across this before, do you know anything about it?

Richard
