In total i recovered 11 carriers or the remains of from the farm, that was untill this christmas when i was driving past the farm on my way home thinking "it was 26 years ago i got my first carrier from there, B***ER me there another one and its right along side the road" . that was the carrier found in the hedge. I have since been back over the last week and covered every inch of the land and i am sorry to say that is finaly it, there are no more. But it does just go to show you never can be to sure. There must be more scrap yards with kit hidden way at the back.

more photos of the 1998 recovery
