Default another carrier in a hedge !

I was visiting my old army unit today and over a brew in the REME office my old Staff Sgt told me about a carrier laying in a hedge he passes on his jogging route, with the remains of the cover in tatters and not looking like it had moved in years. So i plide him with more chocolate biscuits and got the location out of him. SO off i go into the darkest Suffolk countryside in search of another carrier.

Well exactly where he said it was lay a T16, not quite in a hedge but looking a bit uncared for. it turned out to be a vehicle that belongs to a vehice collector i know from Suffolk and he just has it in storage at the farm. All i will say is "Tim if you read this its time you bought a new cover !!!"

Oh well it was worth the ride out, just have to follow up every story.

shaun buy the rusty t 16 off milweb and swap it but don't forget to put the old cover back on, the owner will think the ravages of time and weather have deteriorated his carrier and be none the wiser
