Some years back I was very fortunate in being able to locate and acquire the hull of Australian 2 Pdr Anti Tank Carrier No 6146, on a nearby farm in Rural NSW. (about the same time I also tracked down and a cquired a near mint Australian 'Rhino' Armoured car running chassis)

The carrier turned out to be the actual vehicle used to illustrate the technical manuals for this unique Aussie AFV. Subsequently the vehicle passed partly-restored to another collector when I moved off the farm and I have lost track of it.

Whilst researching the vehicle and seeking parts I was given a list by Col Anderson of other 2Pdr Carriers known to have been saved from the scrappers which appears below in no particular order:

6146 - Recovered for restoration by Phill Hastings at Holbrook NSW in 1997 - sold on in 1999
6025 - Recovered by Col Anderson Sold to Barry Ryan of Dubbo NSW
6019 - Recovered by Col Anderson
6027 - Recovered by Col Anderson
6191 - Recovered by Col Anderson - sold to Rod Keyes QLD
6014 - Last seen Uptons yard, Corowa NSW 1975
6150 - Still existed in Tocumwal NSW in 1975
6100 - Recovered by Tim Vibert and sold to Sydney collector 1975
**** - Wreck seen at Tocumwal 1979
**** - Wreck seen at Tocumwal 1979
**** - existed at Merbein Vic - sold 1992

**** - On charge - Bandiana Army Museum

**** - heavily stripped and rusted hull in Albury NSW machinery yard

I'm sure there are a few more out there still to be found - I thought someone may be able to put this information to good use after all this time. I had been looking for the above list in my files since 1999!
