Nige, as discussed I will take an antenna base bracket :-)

A British MK1 has to be the first on British soil for a while!

I'm still up for a crook. Hope to see you on the pre W&P whistle stop tour........then at the show. You can relieve me of rusty steel

I'm looking forward to meeting up with our commonwealth colleagues.
We will have reps from all the nations that built carriers in WW2!

Just to whet everyone's appetite, here are a couple of pics of what ten carriers look like when they are all lined up in a field.
The pictures were taken by me at Wings over Wairarapa in 2003.

There is a thread by Tony Smith Mk1 with more pics he took there.
This prompted the Year of the Carrier in Aussie in 2005,
and we will do it again at Wairarapa in NZ, January 2015!

see you all
Rob

Hello All

With Andy's fantastic effort to get us our own slot I think we should take full advantage and park them all up to get a group photo! We could do the vehicles then perhaps another outside the arena before we all disperse for any other MLU er's who fancy having their picture taken??

Any suggestions Andy? Will there be a suitable moment and spot to congregate before or after the driving around?

Cheers

There is a particular photo I would like to re create if we could..... We would need some lads with the period british motorcycles to be complete, but the carriers would do it if not.

Hello Folks,

We can arrange the carriere photo in the Arena , I will have a word with some of the official photographers and see what we can come up with.

Not sure if we can do it with m/c's as well Rich but maybe possible somewhere else on site.

Have to be a bit careful as we arent allowed to churn up the race course !

Anyway, look forward to seeing everyone at W & P.

Andy

Perfect, thanks Andy. I'm sure we'll have time to sort it out.

Here is a clip from the dvd of Corowa Swim-In of 2005, The Year of the Carrier, when about 20 were on display. I wonder how close we will be to that figure at W&PR this year ..
