New Member and Carrier owner

[Tom Millward]

Hello to you all.

I am a new member to the forum and soon to be the owner of a Mk1* Carrier. I'm looking forward to being a member of the group and sharing the restoration with you all. My experience so far is with far more modern AFVs, so this will be a bit of a learning curve.

Does anyone have any images or details of the canvas waterproof cover? I have the size, but don't know the correct colour of canvas or how many eyelets should be there.

I will post some pictures of the Carrier as soon as it arrives.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom,
I have a 1944 No2 Mk 2* carrier which was apparently never issued to the army and has never been restored, it came which an unused canvas sheet carefully folded in the kit locker. I am assuming it is original though I cannot find a date on it as all the other tools that were with the vehicle are definitely original. I won't be going to where I store the carrier for a couple of weeks but am happy to send you the details of the sheet once I can get it out. We are not a million miles away as I am in Surrey so you are welcome to come and take a look if you want to check the colour. Send me a PM if you would like to visit otherwise I will post details here when I can.

I also have a 1944 No2 MK2* and would also be interested in the spec and colour of your tarp Mike. (pictures when you can).......Did yours come from Cornwall by any chance?
