over the hedge
Shaun, Thanks for showing us the carrier today, I have already half finished that linkage cover, curious to know if the grenade box wood inserts are the same for both the lid and the base?. you opened that box yet?.
Oh, On the way home through the hedge I spotted these, took a picture thinking they were carriers, turned out to be german junk so get on driving.  kevin

Started to clean the carrier down today, searching for any markings before i strip it for blasting, found some very interesting stuff. There is Pea green paint on all 4 side, on the side it is a strip about a foot long and 3 inches wide just bellow the armour edge near the gunner, on the front just bellow the mirror bracket the is a 4 inch pea green circle and a strip on the rear armour on the drivers side. i think ( and i stand to be corrected) this vehicle had been used for training and it was part of "Green Force" and the aposing guys would have been "blue force" we had the same thing on our exercises and had coloured patches on our vehicles but they were just tied on.
On the gunners side armour bellow the CT112596 are some half inch high numbers stamped into the armour 292 with another 2 stamped directly above the 9 as well. also on the gunners side armour in the middle of the vehicle is a triangle ( you can still see the pencil line that the guy who painted it drew on first) this would normally be for "A" coy or sqdrn. as well as "sling here" near the front lifting eye that had been painted white. One more thing to point to it having been a Ronson is that the rear lifting eyes have had the to cut straight to allow room for the rear tanks. Last edited by shaun; 07-01-11 at 01:06.
