Oddly, there are two figures, "Tonnage, Heavy" which is recorded in TCQL at just over 3 1/4Tons, and above that there is "Tonnage, Light" which is strangely listed in Tons, Feet and Inches! This carrier's "Tonnage, Light" is 10 Tons + 6 Ft. Who can explain that? Is it related to the shipping space occupied?

Not a clue, maybe they were engenirs. On the other hand forward of that they stenciled on "CARRIER, BREN No.2 Mk.II" just in case the data plate failed you.
