Bert List said it was during the 50's so what you say will be just about dead right.

I'm sure that I mentioned this in anothher thread but there wasn't a 'time schedule' for these SKN and DP guns when they went through the big workshops in the later post civilianisation years. They went through as 'GUNS Machine L4 type - other'! But the policy was that they still had to be done and the finishing time, with painting was well off the allowable richter scale! You could just about manage something with the DP's but making up time with the red painted SKN's was impossible.

I say 'impossible', that is 'impossible' without some fancy time management accounting. Or simply cooking the books to you and me.............. Alls well that ends well was the saying, just so long as it never got back to the old PC&A office!
