Default Thinking caps on chaps ....

Shaun's carrier is going to need a name ( or a nickname )

What can we come up with for a Carrier that went from grave to cradle in exactly twelve months?

Lazarus would be a bit downbeat - who has something better? Solstice maybe, since it started and finished on the winter Solstice?

The morning started with Rick traveling 4 hours to assist with the roll out ( thanks Rick good effort !!) well a year to the day and the old wagon flew ! The first trip went ok, then a few adjustments later and another run and goes very well, we covered just over 2 miles, no over heating or major leaks so all is well. I think the video says it all so enjoy ! sorry for the shakey video ( to much excitment for all concerned ). By the way im the good looking one in the green wooly hat - Rick has the blue one ! Both Ex REME hence the sign on the front of the carrier .

Yes Gordon a name is needed , something light and fluffy like all good British AFVs

Well done, sorry I couldn't be there, hope to see it soon.

There's probably a joke in there somewhere, what with the time of year, new born (carrier) and wise men.

All the best, Ben
