Default ARN's

Hi Richard,

I agree that to digitise the whole lot of volumes is a big ask, but if you are just looking at WWII vehicles then the list is much shorter.

Hi Plushy,

it is possible to deduce which volume your F15A lies in as you already know the ARN.

With MY truck, I only had the engine number and had to go through all the records of 1942-43 era (my engine number starts with a 3 prefix which is 1942 manufacture...) I then found the ARN. You blokes with ARNs had it EASY!

In the photo Richard has, you can see the type of details left. It will tell you what type of truck you have and its disposal and where it was initially delivered to. The hard yards is, as Max has pointed out, the ultimate disposition, or unit.

Agreed there is a lot of records, but are we not preservers of equipment?

Also, as many have done before, it is a pilgrimage to the AWM and finding YOUR truck's ARN in a book which makes the looking so much the better!

Ian
