Hello Craig,

Welcome to the forum and potential Carrier ownership. I own a Canadian Mk1*, I live in Wiltshire, and also ex REME!

Send me a PM and we can get in contact. I’m happy to help where I can. As soon as this covid situation is under control you’re welcome to come up and have a play around with mine and get familiar with them. We can even take it out on a run to the REME museum cafe for a brew!

Good luck in your hunt.

Regards,

Tom

Howdo Tom. Blimey! You're almost on the doorstep? I'm just 10 minutes south of Winchester. I'll happily accept your kind offer of arranging a meeting, hopefully in the not too distant future! The museum also sounds like a good visit. Last time I saw any of their exhibits was during my SMC at Arborfield in 2013. Many thanks for your welcoming me here. I'll send my email address via an inbox message.
Craig

Hi Craig. Mine's a Canadian MK2* in Bournemouth. Also ex motor mechanic, from the days when you could flick the points! I've had a long friendship with the Winchester area......You're not on the Romsey road by any chance?

You're welcome to visit if you're in the area, but I can't top Tom's offer

Ron

Hi Ron. Well this is amazing! Yes, I'm just off the Romsey road in a small industrial site in Ampfield. What a community this is already turning out to be. I'll send an inbox message your way. Kind regards.
Craig

Welcome! Glad you've found time to wedge an army career in between civilian work obligations. And pleased as well that the MLU community has members close enough to visit and help.

Hi Terry. Thanks very much. Yes it's already a most welcome surprise knowing there's more people in this part of the world all willing to share their knowledge & experience. It's always great to know there'll be plenty of folk ready to help when the questions start flowing. I'm already very pleased to be here on the forum.
