Hi Richard, not at all! It means no coke cans, sunglasses, modern tools etc etc. All carriers, carrier projects, wrecks, wrecks to be restored, veterans photographs etc really welcome.

Need items by end of this month, no later. Thanks.

How's things going with your restoration anyway Richard?
I'm at the painting stage, the nice bit!

Nigel

Default W & p 2011

If Nigel is launching his final book at W & P this year.

We should all help him and make this a special year for carriers at W & P.

How many can we get in the arena at one time and support his book launch?

Or how about a drive around the site lead of course by Nigel?

I'm hoping to be there with my carrier Saturday and Sunday.

How else can make it.?

Barry

Default war and peace

I would like to take the tank hunter there, so if anyone is going from Norfolk or Suffolk and want to share transport costs let me know, lets get the ball rolling to beat the Aussie record for carriers at a show.

Nigel, what do you think is this the year of the carrier?.

Lets make it happen.

kevin.

Kevin its a good idea but I think folk would need a bit more lead in time! I think next year would be time enough! Did everyone hear that? Next year for a carrier fest! What does everyone think? Just need an organiser and show.

I'll be down at Beltring with my carrier this year Kevin, would be good to see the TH there!
