LP2 SAR Hull No 316 Restoration.

[Matt Stephenson]

Hello again,

Not much to update with the carrier, as there hasn't been much opportunity recently with work getting in the way....

Anyway, I wanted to post some pics of a recent barn find, while picking on a farm looking for BGC parts and other bits n pieces. They appear to be grenade boxes, and look like they were painted white originally, with the stencil applied to the front, and felt attached to the inside of the lid. The stencil reads: "GRENADE - SMOKE & THERMITE"

What I don't know is from which vehicle they may have come from, and secondly if anyone out there might have a need or use for them in their restoration project? Given that they were painted white, I'm guessing that they originally came from a US produced armoured vehicle, as british vehicles were painted silver internally. Anyway, enjoy the attached pics.

If anyone can shed any light as to their origin and use, or if they are useful for a restoration project, please let me know.

Regards,

Matt.
