I also served 18yrs in the British Army Reserves (Class1 Vehicle Mechanic & Class1 Armourer)
My long-term goal has been ownership/restoration of a Carrier. My Grandfather worked on them as a mechanic during the War from Normandy through to Germany. I look forward to contributing on the forum & getting to know many of you in due course.
Regards to you all.

You've landed in the right place for sure.

Lots of knowledgeable people here for Carriers especially and also loads of other great stuff.

I dont have a carrier, so no point asking me anything about them (I do have a Sherman Firefly in a pile of rusty parts though).

Tim. Pleased to hear from you. A Firefly no less? Fantastic. And I thought a carrier project was going to be involved! I tip my hat to you my friend.

35 ish tonnes of rust so far! A long way to go.

A carrier would have been a more sensible choice!

Cheers

Outstanding! That's 35t of majestic rust you have there. Hopefully one day I'll be able to see it close up? Huge admiration for taking on such an epic challenge. I tip my hat.
