Wasp Carrier?
Thank you Michael for the information. The carrier is due to arrive at Commercial Pallet later today. Upon arrival, I will check the upper and lower hull #'s, engine # and dimensions of the cut out. Will report back as soon as I have the info.

New Carrier at Commercial Pallet
Bravo Rich,
Nice posting Richard thanks . Can't wait to see the pictures of the arrival of this warrior at your place.That will make for a nice restoration project and when completed a nice working and rolling piece of Canadian WW2 history ! I have seen only one working Carrier in the Province of Québec and that would be the one the R22R have in Valcartier . It came out for the regiment's 100 th anniversary cérémonies at La Citadelle . Any information anyone about other working Carriers in Québec for reference, pictures and maybe sizing of parts ? Many thanks. Robert

MkII Rolls
Well guys, the carrier rolled off of the trailer and into my warehouse. Good news, I'm not too big to fit properly into a carrier! I cross checked the engine number, located on the block, at the right rear top and it matches the ID plate. Lower hull is also a match. Upper hull number is visible. Lots of grease on all the nipples, Prestone in the rad, fuel in the bowl, no oil leaks. Cross tube steering linkage has been disconnected, hand brake is missing. I think we are going to spend a day on it, hooking things up and borrowing a hand brake, to see if we can get it running. Will post pictures & video shortly.
Cheerio, Richard

Clarification: Upper vs Lower Hull #'s
Ok - correction - Upper Hull # matches, Lower Hull # is not indicated on the ID plate. Borrowed hand brake from MK-1* is straight, a MK-2* hand brake has a bend in it. How about an educated guess on a CT# for this carrier?

See Nigel Watson for the CT range on the CD2609 contract. There were 2,500 carriers in the order, C31UCW models, but I wonder if that included those fitted for 3" mortar, like Charles F. has? Until research reveals a document with serial numbers to WD numbers, is it possible to estimate WD numbers with any accuracy?
