I also want one for the Blitz but having them both with the same plate might be incorrect ??

3 rd armoured division maybe ?? I have looked at the picture in wiki and mine definitely has a knight on horse and a boomerang underneath. I painted exactly over the original , which is still underneath my effort.

Gina,
The Formation sign is 3rd Aust Armoured Division, described as a Knight on horseback over a boomerang. The Unit sign '53' within that division was carried by the 13th Aust Armoured Regiment, part of 2nd Aust Armoured Brigade, in June 1943. They were located at Manumbar, Qld, at that time. As the third Armd Regt within the Brigade, the background colour would be red (not red/brown diagonal). Diagonal red/brown is not a colour combination I am aware of in use within the Aust army, and diagonally divided plates in the Aust army are always lower left to upper right, ie a colour in the upper left half and the lower right half. Your No.9 artillery tractor could also be marked to 3rd Aust Armoured Division if you so chose: both 21 and 22 Aust Field Regiments formed the field artillery components of the division. In June 1943, these were both based at Gympie, Qld. The unit signs were 76 on a red/blue horizontally divided unit sign for 21 Fd Regt, or 74 on red/blue horizontal for 21 Aust Fd Regt. The formation sign was that of 3rd Armd Div. Mike C

I also brought myself a cooks Trailer.
I figured if I am going to have a trailer I might as well have an ex military one. I dodgied up some unit plates for that as well. The trailer is ex 1st sigs regiment according to the stickers on it . So I made some AAVA plates and what i understand to be the Sigs colours. I now need some kind of canvas treatment for the cover ...and to keep my eye out for a new one .
