Contract date required
I wonder if someone can tell us (Nigel W.?) when the first contract of Canadian Universals (MkI*) was started / produced?
If I am following Nigel's book correctly, all the carriers produced before number (C)T28,841 were British produced This is the lowest T number allocated to a Canadian contract. The Photo on the bottom of page 119 of his first book, shows the 18th carrier built by Ford of Canada, in disruptive Apart from the Indian units carrier (numberT34256, also a Brit carrier) the latest picture I can find in Caunter is T13779.

In Blueprint for Victory, Gregg states that Ford completed the Carrier assembly line in February 1941 and commenced production. In Military Vehicles Profiles he states that the first production carrier rolled out of the plant on Feb 8, 1941. By the end of 1941, 3000 had been produced.
The second picture is a Canadian produced Carrier in Tunisia from Blueprint for Victory.

Thankyou for that.
Interesting info from Doctor Gregg, on the replacement motors. That seems contrary to previous comments on here about the use of 95 h.p. engines in carriers. Any info on Canadian colour schemes?
