Gregs grandson at the Coe Hill do....Photo by Barry Hendry,Bancroft Times...

Coe Hill photos
 

It would seem that my grandson is a bit of a ham--note the popgun in his right hand.The Coe Hill event was covered by the newspaper "This Week" which printed the latter photo on its front page ,but also by the "Bancroft Times"whose reporter,Barry Hendry took the first two photos which Alex has posted as published.The Bancroft Times also generously provided me,on CD with all of the 42 photos taken at the Coe Hill event for use in promoting our activities.This was also covered by CHEX television Peterboro which did a news item that evening.For more good photos see the new OMVA website.This annual event is getting bigger and better every year and is well supported by the people of Coe Hill.Dan McCaw and all his helpers may well be proud.--Greg

"Bren"...??...Universal Carrier.
 

What is the contraption on the front of the Carrier?

Re: "Bren"...??...Universal Carrier.
 

Its a big mortar base.

Carrier
 

The carrier was built as a MORTAR CARRIER not a bren carrier-the mortar bipod and barrel are on the back--the holes in the armour for bren mounts, flare launcher,antenna base,etc. were riveted closed at the factory --Greg

designation
 

So I guess it actually a "Carrier 3 in. Mortar,No3 MkI*. ?...Just never seen this arrangement before.
Great pictures. great info, great forum. Thanks guys.

I was just talking to Greg Anderson the other day. Was hopeing to get some pics of his bren gun carrier for detailing my 1/6th carrier, but hard to connect both of us so busy
