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

Whitley Bay is a five minute walk from me, wonder if those lads were Geordies and named their carrier after home town ? The first pic in that post was taken in Salerno I believe (from memory it was on ebay)

Early on, Rob, nearly every carrier, carried one. (not mortars and AOPs)
