Hi Craig,

Welcome to the forum.

I hope you enjoy your time on here, and more importantly, enjoy your Lightweight. There's plenty of knowledge on here if you need to ask any Lightweight specific questions as you return it to as it would have been.

Regards,
For Those That Have Had To Fight for It, Life Has Truly A Flavour The Protected Will Never Know.

Craig to post a picture.
Click "Reply"
Click "Attachments"
Click "Add Files"
Select a photo from a file on your PC. Then click "Open"
Your picture should upload with its name on the left of page & on the right "Status" should show a tick in a green disc.
Click on "Place inline"
Then something like this will appear with brackets enclosing the words attachment incorpoating the name of your file.
When you click "Preview" or "Submit" the wording disappears & is replaced by your photo.

The letter from Beverley Museum of Army Transport is based on whatever your B Card shows. Just be wary of the sold date as this is often misunderstood. The record card would show "S/O" or "S/O CENSUS" which it was the date it was struck off the census of MOD assets. It is not the date it was sold, with OSDD Ruddington this was generally 2-6 months after it was struck off.

Can you post up a scan of your record card to check that they have interpreted it correctly?

 Sorry to get your hopes up, I'm afraid this is the nearest I have. Not a very good example just one they used for rallying.

Ok on the paperwork, by that do you mean you have a copy of the B Card (history card) from the RLC Museum or is it something else you have?
