Default Some carrier pictures.
They might have been seen before...but what the hell!
First two are in the Netherlands. Not sure where the third one is. But obviously a Mortar Carrier. Ron

Ron, Nice pictures, you often see mortar carriers with the stacey on the back.

Cant make out the writing on the front of the Lyod.

Found these pics recently.

Nice Bren pictures Stephen, where did you find those?

Couple from me. A Scout with some light tanks and some bikes abandoned at Dunkirk for Ron

Theres always a steady stream of carrier pictures on eBay but most have a sellers watermark. They can be quite useful but are spoilt a little due to the watermark. Shall we post them on this thread and have a rolling original/period photo thread? it would be a stream of new material......

Hello Ben.

Have picked them up over the years wherever I can find them, some may have appeared in books already but the more we can put out the better.

One you don't see very often. Abandoned in Dunkirk. I don't think any survive today.

Couple of interesting ones there. I like the LP1's ?? In the workshop, the canvas light cover on the Bren (not seen that listed in the parts book) and I don't fancy going swimming in a carrier......

I was thinking what the crew were about to be doing rather than the carrier. Both look pretty uncomfortable!!
