Default Carrier Driver

I recently had a visit from a Veteran of the Dutch army. He told me stories of his time in the East Indies during the uprisings and his time driving Bren Carriers. I offered him the opportunity to take mine for a ride, he jumped at the chance, I mean jumped he was in the drivers seat long before I could crawl. He hadn't driven one in 60 years, I wish I could drive it as well as him, never clashed a gear, no jarring. I was glad the carrier wasn't in as good as shape as he was, as I think he would have driven in back to BC. I have attached a few photos he sent to me from his time in the service.
