BSM Posted 17 July , 2009 Author Share Posted 17 July , 2009 Yes indeed. An Albion A10 in Salonika number 37196. Tim (too) Thanks Tim....had not heard from you for a while! Was this A10 census number accompanied by a broad arrow and was it positioned on the bonnet in the usual spot? What one is trying to identify is the existence or otherwise of a specific numbering scheme peculiar to Salonika. Most images I have seen of MT in this area do not have visible numbers! As you also know, census numbers came with and without the arrow in Europe plus the fact that quite a number of vehicles were transferred directly from that Theatre to Salonika so the Albion number could well have come from that source. If further examples are presented then it may be possible to identify a pattern if indeed there was one....Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
