narune Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Got it wrong. When it was resonated it was painted with 02fa54 but the ID plate is 02fa46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I have FV434 02FA23 for which Merlin gives the date in service as 01 August 69. Presumably they were taken into service in blocks but I have no idea how big the blocks were. I have a photo of 02FA22 in service but no photo of mine so if anyone has a photo of 02FA23 I would be very pleased to see it !
