Name

At a field workshop (codenamed Kangaroo, hence the name) - they weren't named after the workshop, if anything it was the other way round. 'Kangaroos' got their name because, like the animal, they have a 'pouch' to carry their 'young'.

I suspect the workshop was set up specifically to create the Kangaroo conversions and was named 'Kangaroo' because of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.254.45 (talk) 19:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
