Jordon,
Thanks for your reply. Here is a shot of the rear and a close up of the running gear. Let me know if you need any more information. Any idea where I can find the hull # location?

[RichardT10829]

Gauges and passenger seat please do you have any close ups of the gauges ? and i take it the seat mechanisms are the original ones, i cant tell from the photo's hull number is located on the rearmost gunners side side angle bar which would have held the rear armour on the number is stamped into this angle bar roughly between the first two rivets which hold it onto the track guard.... hope this helps

also would like the parking brake assembly (handle, base and rods) possibly fuel tanks if they are original.... i would have to ship them all back to the UK so would need a bit time to arrange courier

RichardT - unfortunately, the original gauges were ripped out along with the IP panel. The passenger seat is just an old chair. the driver's seat (lower assembly) is intact. Let me know if there is anything else that you might be interested in and I can send a picture.

[RichardT10829]

DOE ! never mind. fuel tanks and any controls like the front to rear linkages, brake linkages, cam linkages etc.

if you could email me pictures Rich i would appreciate it. i can direct wire funds or paypal etc etc etc. also any gear linkage bits that might be spare and the steering wheel and column please (for Martyns mate or was it Kevin... i cant recall)

Hi Richard
Could you take and send me some good quality photos of the carrier with the roof! In my last Volume of carriers I am puting in photos of carriers that were converted after the war and put to use in other ways. I thought this one would fit into this. Any idea what it was used for? I will also credit you for the photograph in the book.
If you could take photos at 300 resolution and save as a .tiff or .gif file.

Did you get my reply re where to find the carrier id numbers?

Thanks
Nigel Watson

The overhead roof, all around seating with back rests and open superstructure, plus the geographic location tell me this was a deer hunting camp runabout. The older, less mobile, more hung over or otherwise less able hunters would be driven to their posts while more agile hunters drove the game towards the line. This tactic works well when there are lots of shooters. It is much less common today, with the popularity of tree stands and still hunting.
