Default Arn 46743

Interesting (unusual) layout of the ARN on 46743, with the gap and hyphen between the 6 and 7. Nice gloss paintwork and shiny chrome fittings, too.

Just as interesting is that this Chev 'Car, 5 passenger, sedan' lasted in service so long, being written-off the books in Korea in October 1954.

Mike

Good one Mike K.

I think I might steal Colonel Southwell's markings.

Had to look hard to see what the horse over the boomerang meant. It is the 2nd Australian Army. We had enough trouble making up one army let alone two, must be another of those phantom on-paper organisations.
