Covenantor in New Zealand

[things_green]

some great images of NZs only Covenater Bridge Layer.
Mil Historian Peter Cooke tells me we also had a Val BL as well?

So this is the tank Andrew Rowe is rebuilding as a gun tank?

Please let me know if these images have been previously shared I wont bother uploading the hundreds of others!

I like the image of the partially open BL with val and M1.....

I don't know where the gun tank was taken....but assume it was NZ as all marks images pertain to vehicles used by Kiwis

[Andrew Rowe]

Yes, Brent, NZ had 13 Covenanters ,and my one is the only surviving example.
It has only done 100miles as this is what the original owner told me when he bought it from the Army in 1958, the other 12 were scrapped that he witnessed. Aussie had about 11. I am unsure of us having any Valentine B/Layers?? In all there are only 4 surviving examples of Covenanters ( above ground ) that I know of worldwide, 1 x NZ, 2 x Aussie, 1 x UK (Bovy ).

I can confirm the Gun Tank photo above was taken in England (There a label on the back of the original pic) i scanned these for Mark a few years ago

Thanks for that Andrew & Dave...that's 2 out of 3 queries covered...

Just wondering if the images have been posted here before?

I couldn't find them in a search?

There are many images of various vehicles but I don't wish to waste the groups bandwidth or my time if they have already been uploaded?
