    The Aust Army Ordnance Corps (AAOC) in the World War 2 was one of the corps which supplied the Army with the materials it needed to live, move and fight. The Aust Army Service Corps (AASC) supplied the consumable items, such as food and fuel, while the Royal Aust Engineers (RAE) and Corps of Signals maintained supply branches to distribute the specialist engineer stores and signals equipment. AAOC supplied the ammunition as well as the non-consumable items for which the receiver was accountable. These include the weapons, munitions and vehicles as well as the tents, knives and forks, clothing and the spare parts to maintain the vehicles and equipment. AAOC did not generally undertake the distribution of their stores to units as the transport function was undertaken by AASC. Source: search.informit.org/doi/abs/10.3316/informit.454344815385...

    It staggers me that they achieved the correct angles and shapes to create a balanced and equal shaped ship like this. They were designed using slide rules and paper yet made them to a very high standard - real skills.
