Good to see you at the weekend Keith. Exciting purchase I remember the photos from years ago. I'm trying to dig out any further information I have.

That trolley appears to have Carrier return rollers on it.

Ian,
Not sure how to approach this one, as I may show her as she is, I'll wait till I have pressure washed her off, and oiled her up.
Lynn,
If anything looks remotely military, I'll bring it home with me.
Charlton,
Thanks, this will be an interesting project one way or the other.
So looking forward to tomorrow...............
Keith

Well, today, we recovered the C15 AA from it's resting place. A bit reluctant to move initially, but with a helping hand or hands to be more precise, she finally moved ( one of the best things invented, a starting handle !) . She is now in her new home, many thanks to those involved with this recovery and the workout turning her over in 1st and reverse gear, to extract her from her resting place. Many more pictures to follow..........
