Hello all at MLU, i thought i would introduce myself within the carrier forum as this is my main interest on this site.

I have been obsessed with Bren Gun Carriers for some time, and only after researching my grandfather did it really sink home how fantastic these machines really are ! I never got to sit down with my Grandfather and ask him about the war before he died back in 1989, And it was some time last year that i finally inherited his box of army bits and bobs, including his AB64, stable Belt, Binoculars, field compass, Glenn Garry hat which I had to replace the regiment badge for, and a whole load of photographs, one of which he is stood infront of his carrier (T10829) he is the chap stood next to the sgt.

Having pestered lots of people on MILWEB I had been offered countless T16's and a whole bunch of absolutely wrecked carriers full of holes off the ranges, all wanting over the top prices !! I bit the bullet and emailled every single business on the MILWEB page, including John at Midwest Military; John kindly put me onto Don Barrie, who is hopefully sorting me out with a carrier ! Both John and Don have been very helpfull Don in particular ! Since opening the box of WW2 bits I seem to have immersed myself into carrier's I have even bought the book written by David Fletcher, and purchased a carrier service book so I can start reading up, as the carrier I have been looking at needs a whole bunch of TLC...Armour......Bits.... great stuff !!!
