Abandoned CMPs thread on REMLR forum.

Dianaa, I hear you. But if I get it wrong you will have to forgive me.
I have tried to change the world as far as Carrier nomenclature goes, but I was already beaten in 1939.
In my further defence, you Aussies are the worst for it! (Blitz)
I remember replacing all the transfer cases because of a design fault, and converting the brakes from a 4x2 to a 3x3 set up.
Sat and passed my heavy trailer license in one, towing the 5.5 gun (with electric brakes) Pretty much had to be on the red line for every gear change.
Another thing I recall, one of the gunners lost his gun in Taupo, on the way home from annual camp. The gun wrote off five cars, and from that incident, safety chains were introduced. Up until then, the Army had an exemption. The Army was lucky, no one was hurt (or killed)
So to say it right, we had Mk 4's, F1s and F2s (they all had the shallow steel hoods/bonnets)

David, thanks for the up date. I did a trip up the Gibb river road (Broome to Kununarra, but we never went up the Mitchel plateau.
From a You tube clip, the air port looks like quite a good regularly used facility.

Hi Lynn

I have no problem with nicknames as far as they go, but here we should be clear and give them the correct names. We don't do it for monkey face blitz, so we shouldn't do it for Inters either.

BTW, Unlike British equipment, in this case the use of Roman numerals is incorrect. They are Mk3 and Mk4 in Arabic numerals.

Dianaa, O.K. Mk3 and Mk4.
Now, When you managed to change the Australian lads from calling their Universal Carriers, Bren Carriers, Let me know

Did you notice, I edited my post#8?

[Dianaa]

I have now!

Geez you're asking a lot, I was trying to get people to call them Vickers gun carriers, but only the ones with the correct gun port! Did I do wrong?

I'm still trying to learn the difference between a LP2a, a C15a and a cab 12.

Those ones you speak of were a "Carrier MG LP2 or LP2A". (no roaming numerals)
Do you get the British "Classic Military vehicle" magazine?
