Hi Barry,
The museum keeps the same name " BATTLEFRONT" The East England Military Museum. Basically we have been waiting for the right location to be found, all the kit has been in storage for the last 3 years ( open in a very low key way on our storage site) but we have now moved to an active Airfield with flying vintage aircraft etc. It was a B24 bomber base and home to James Stuart during WW2, so lots of history. The plan is to put up the Nissen huts and Blister hanger etc we have in s torage and get the kit refurbished in the new workshop and back on display. We will be holding an event there in October as well as the Old BUckenham Airshow on June 24th. Very exciting times !!!! now back carrier stuff ! ha ha ha ha ha Good luck with the clutch , im sure you will win .

I too found a mouse nest in my carrier. Minewas inside the main bogie suspension casting in through one of the casting holes that are normally blanked off with a tacked in plug. A small mouse through a small hole, but it had taken a lot of material in through that hole. Mostly it came out though the the axle hole with an air gun. Mice had gone.
Has any body go a spare pair of those side lights as seen on puddle jumper?

shaun make sure you don't go telling all the guys about the 2 trenches full of US vehicles buried at the end of the war at old buck or they'll be all over the place with metal detectors
sorry kev but there aren't any buried carriers for you (they're in scotland)  rick

tried the metal detector but nothing other than .50 cal cases and the farmer wont let me dig a test pit until we've got definate confirmation so it's a magnetometer or ground penetrating radar i'm afraid. i know the exact location but like i said we need confirmation before he'll let us dig out a few hundred tons from his nice field
