Kookaburra and Cossack
Hi Matt,
Great photos thanks for posting. Any idea which regiments Kookaburra and Cossack belong to? I have T72908 in my WD database but nothing in the unit field. Any additional info would be a help. Cheers Kevin

Great photos indeed Matt.
Any dates ? Some of the latter look post war, late 40's? Thinking of the ones that appear to be at a demo day, and is that an early Centurion? Rich

Kookaburra
On the back of the photo it details:
"A Sqn 2/7 Div Cav Regt training at Redbank Qld 1940" Nothing is recorded on the back of "Cossack" Kind regards Matt

 Your photo actually shows "1 ATC" above the serial number, on the side of the hull. The batch of ten of these light tanks were originally delivered to 1st and 2nd Light Tank Companies in NSW and Victoria respectively, having five each. My interest in these was the involvment in the restoration of another of this batch, "Platypus" and I have been able to find quite a bit of information on them. I would be interested to see photos of any more of these, if you find them.
