Does anyone know what has happened to these carriers since they were retrieved?

Can anyone recall the links to these great stories for me so I can follow them again? It would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards

Hello All,

I found the threads about unusual carrier recoveries.

My apologies the recovery took place in Sweden not Canada.

Robin,

Bravo Zulu for a great recovery!! Loved reading the tale and wish I had known as I would have gone just to observe and drink a large Timmy's double-double in the cold with you.
