Welcome aboard Seb. It looks like you have some (non voting) support on your team?
Is your number certain or is it missing a digit?

That is my hull number.
It’s the only identifiable number I have available.

Default Your carrier is well-worth restoring

Congratulations, and my condolences. You have been bitten by the green disease!

Very recently, Allan Dornan who lives near Montreal, bought a partially restored carrier in an auction. He has done amazing work and made great progress putting the plates back together and making it run. If you find Al, he will be very happy to share his experience.

You’re very right.
I got a 1942 Willys MB CDLV-505 as well and several dozen Lee Enfields from different wars and manufacturers.
It’s a deep hole that I’m free falling into. Hahahah

I’ll definitely try to find this Al you speak of.
Thanks.
