Looks to be in much better condition than some of the other UK finds I have seen photos of over the last few years. Now what were you saying about a Loyd....

have to admit when i am out and about in the countryside i always check over walls and in farm yards.... mainly for wheels but i guarantee there are more out there rotting away in a blueberry bush or being used to house cattle feed or chickens..... i am ajust glad this one has been saved, still has the radio battery box on the rear armour too. i am keen to see what its designation is, year, etc etc sadly i find that stuff really interesting.

On a bloody cold day we have recovered the carrier, it took an hour to carefully lift it from it resting place. its now sitting in the yard ( and i am not allowed back there till after christmas the mrs said ! grrrrrr) i managed to get some of the Loyd parts as well going back for more later, not to sure whats left but it has been well chopped up. as you will see from the ID plate its a Feb 1943 machine and has fitting and holes for a Ronson flame thrower. lots of nice patrs still in place still and very solid. enjoy the photos and thanks for the comments sofar ( and yes i will be rebuilding it)
