Mike,

No wonder the girls went for the yanks - is there a worse uniform than the Australian WW2 effort!

Last month a QM guy helpfully informed me that all uniforms are now available in size 2. Too big, too small and too bad.

That made me laugh!

Whole number plate: well, it's a Commonwealth reg plate (it has the red 'C' at the start), but is at some variance to the specs. Plates were issued by the Department of the Interior, so they are usually pretty uniform, but these are way off target! Always something new to learn.....
