Two more wrecks in my yard

[rob love]

I have a video tape of an old training slide show somewhere at home, where the film points out that the two bolts holding the angle iron over top of the division plate MAY be 3/8 UNF rather than BSF. I think Gunner had something to do with the video if I recall.


There is no doubt in my mind that this is an early Canadian carrier. It will likely not have the serial numbers on the front armor plate because they likely were still using the large British style ID plate on the front right fender. A quick check of any parts will show the FMOco markings. I am not 100% sure where the changeover was from the data plate to the stamped serials, but I have seen the data plate on carriers in the 500 range.
