Well I have to admit that Kevin wasn't the only one that was "stitched up"
Now I want to know if it started with Richard or Adrian or Jordan?
BTW. April fools was yesterday.

Apparently the contract date for these rare carriers was April 1, 1944.


Kevin and all, as another MLU'er told me, You fell for this hook line and aluminium sinker. :P

Actually the fuel tank has been correctly identified. It's from a Willys of France generator. It's a pretty close copy of the UC fuel tank except for being 2/3rds the size.

It was still April Fools Day in Canada when I posted this earlier today.

No shame in it Kevin. Jordan makes up a lot of good stuff much the same as his April 1 offerings.
