Default Carriers

Hi Lang - I have #3973 already recorded. Did you get a Hull Number of the cut down Carrier?

What a happy hunting ground!

The first Blitz is a No8 CGT!

Lang,
What a find !.
It still never fails to amaze me as to how many vehicles are still out there. Looking at some of the vehicles, it would appear that at least someone is trying to help a few of them. Correct me if I am wrong, but a lot of the 15cwt versions appear to be on 20 " wheels. Would this make them ex gun tractors or portees ?
Do you have any plans to save any of them ?
Regards
Keith

Default The other SWB

The other Ford on 20" wheels appears to be a F15A, the green Chev is possibly a C15A with a different fuel filler spout like a cab 12 gun tractor, and this one is a C15 or C15A Wireless Signals cut down.

Keith,

No I don't have any plans to do something with them. It seems I should have taken more photos as there was stuff on the ground and in heaps everywhere.

Just an interesting collection that would cost a lot more than they were worth to recover. The carrier might be a go if you were so inclined but I did not get to talk to the owner so who knows if he will sell.
