Morning, I applied for the B card (attached) from the RLC archive (at great expense!) and excitedly downloaded it, but haven't got a clue what it means!! Can anyone help me?

When tracing the service record of my 101 i went to Merlin first and got pretty much everything that was available. BUT, given that it went to Ashurch storage in 1977 and only started it's service life as an ambulance in 1982, i couldn't believe it just sat there for five years, so i paid the fee to RCL and got the same info with a couple of additional dates Merlin didn't know. I now understand long term storage isn't unusual.
