I agree with you Jordan, but he is a very good carier driver in a very good carrier.

Hendrik

Maybe so but try telling that to the people who would be run over.

Anyway great looking carrier and videos.

I hate to admit it, but those pirouettes in a public parade scared the crap out of me... if that bugger had thrown a track in the middle of one of those, things might have gotten really interesting in a hurry... :(

... here's a footage from
Aussie

I found on Youtube some footage of the rather odd Praying Mantis version of the Carrier.

I think I would be suffering from motion sickness trying to drive that damn thing.

my carrier

i have seen the one with the parade, he has a veteran onboard at the time, i had visions of the croud getting diced up or the old boy falling out and getting crushed. that chap must go through tonnes and tonnes of tracks ? they are only good for 500 miles from what i have read ?

Gracias Pablo, espero que yo haya traducido este correctamente, su portador T16 es fantástico y realmente disfruté mirándolo en Youtube espero que yo pueda llegar a un acuerdo con el Puñal en su portador en Holanda entonces puedo disfrutar de una máquina que mi abuelo condujo durante WW2

Carriers in canada autumn 2003
 

hello all present
My wife and I drove from Calgary Alberta to Vancouver BC in Late September 2003 taking the scenic route, Canmore Banff Jasper Whistler, swinging north and going Via 100 Mile House then through the mountains to Vancouver. On the way we passed through CLINTON British Columbia, Route 97 [Cariboo highway] where we stopped to take photographs of old commercial vehicles and were surprised to see a WOOD tank parked on a truck dealers forecourt .This turned out to be a Ford based carrier chassis, S Same design of back axle as my F60.The body was a wooden hull mounted over original Armour. A large plastic pipe as the Gun Barrel. Closer inspection revealed a very complete unit underneath as far as steel work and cab controls was concerned, All the drive line had been removed and been put into storage in the back of the workshops. The hull did have its axles, track steering gear and bogies intact and i think the track them selves were not to badly worn. May i ask if any one in Alberta or BC has managed to acquire this oddity to restore it as it was clearly well looked after
thanks Stephen
PS towns mentioned may not be in correct route order but if any one wants me to try and give more accurate information i can dig out the holiday snaps or video, may even be able to scan the stills for garage name and phone number,Happy hunting :thup2:

Hi I've added another clip hopefully http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=lY8cPK...eature=channel

WOW !!!!! anyone notice the british issue head lights ? i bet there were loads of bren carrier crews minus there teeth after the war :D

... and here's a colored video of Canadian Ram Tanks unloading of train trailers

fantastic zemsi....although a bit morbid, you cant help but feel that half the guys if not most of them from the footage will have died either during conflict or of old age.....countless families who dont even know of this footage existence.

great find Zemsi.

Scout carriers
 

Hello richard thanks for the link to british Pathe, if only the serial numbers of the Scout Carriers could be made out...

It's an interesting comparison with the three generations of carrier (Bren, Scout and Universal) travelling along in convoy and in order of descendancy.

Cheers

Phill
