Class WTAF and WTBF Tankers

WTAF 640D N. Chapple (RHWA collection)

An NTAF tanker from NSW was issued as WTAF 640 in December 1989. It was owned by Caltex and I don't know the original NSW number of this one. A second NTAF tanker but of a rather different shape, numbered 8432, joined it later. In the 2010 list 640 is gone but there is another WTAF numbered 8482. Given that the number 640 was also used by a WGL I wonder if WTAF 640 was renumbered. In 2010 two further tankers, 8427 and 8430, are listed as class WTA (i.e. not WTAF).  In 2014 the WTAF were scrapped.

WTAF 8432B N. Chapple (RHWA collection)

A BP Tanker numbered WTAF 620 was also issued in 1989 but this was quickly reclassified to WTBF. WTBF620 was still listed in June 2010. Further transfers of NTAFs followed but these were classed WTEF.
