Context (Amendments / updates)
A detached handle was noted during the 2000s Shorts Project as being part of Z 16632 B. After closer examination as part of the Stores Move project in 2023, it was determined that this handle belonged to a different, unknown vessel and so the decision was taken to assign the detached handle a TEMP number and record.
