Hi, Not seen this one before.

More photos about the ruined Universal Carrier on the grass of the entry of “Città della Domenica” in Perugia.

Poor unwanted carrier !! Richie just think it could have been one of our grandfathers carriers. So Kevin whats the plan ???? Discovery + Iforwilliams ?

i know of a horrific amount of armour over in Italy... i would be up for a road trip :) Salerno Beach you can still walk along and find bits of CMP

Italy trip
 

Ahhh my wife has been asking me to take her to Italy... now there is a new incentive! :devil: :devil:

Familiar ?
 

That carrier seems familiar ?

Did it appear many years ago in Wheels & Tracks Magazine along with a CMP or something - both in a park for kids to play on.

It would take me weeks to find the original pics in W&T !

Cheers and thanks for the pic

What is/was it?

probably a MK1 as there does not appear to be the hole near the track gurad on the bulk head for the Wasp kit.

What ever it is, its a Canadian hull so it has a *. I think there were a lot of MkII's built before they started setting them all up as flame thower hulls.

What is the tell that it is a canadian hull Lynn?

Have a look at the engine side of Greg and Chris McDell's British carrier in the attached photo, and compare the differences between the two, with respect to the way the armour plate is let into the corners of the div. plate, and how the air duct is located.
