On a bloody cold day we have recovered the carrier, it took an hour to carefully lift it from it resting place. its now sitting in the yard ( and i am not allowed back there till after christmas the mrs said ! grrrrrr) i managed to get some of the Loyd parts as well going back for more later, not to sure whats left but it has been well chopped up. as you will see from the ID plate its a Feb 1943 machine and has fitting and holes for a Ronson flame thrower. lots of nice patrs still in place still and very solid. enjoy the photos and thanks for the comments sofar ( and yes i will be rebuilding it)

Its been a busy day and left the phone in the car, anyway im not making any descisions with regards to the Loyd bits untill i see how much else i can pull out of the hedge. the loyd has been cut up big time, i think there may have been 2 ! hard to seperate the bits from real scrap. If i do get rid of anything you will have first shout.
