A couple of shots of the Carrier a few months ago, building her back up to this stage was probably the easy bit, now finding or fabricating all the brackets,boxes etc will take some work and time.

The story goes that some of the LP2 Carriers supplied went onto Guadalanal,

Hi Ledsel, I don't preview when posting pics, for some reason they just don't want to stick. I do have trouble opening the Management Attachment field alot , so the problem may ly there. I'll give it another go now otherwise you'll have to use your imagination. Cheers David...
