Hi Eric

For some reason your .bmp isn't displaying - can you please try resaving it as a .jpg?

I tried opening it in Photoshop which gave an "unexpected end of file"

Were you at Corowa?

Eric Szalanda · #3 26-06-05, 01:32

Soorry about that.
I will convert them to jpegs first.

Keith,
yes I was at Corowa, just one of the crowd.
We were in Tom Lewis' carrier.

2nd attempt.
this is our LP2A no 1587.

Thanks for posting the pic, Eric.

Looking at my database, this is a new addition, which is good. I also notice it's serial is in the middle of a batch of South Australian Railway built carriers - is this the case with yours?

I am having trouble with photos of my English Carrier.
I will keep trying.
It says that the image is too big and it should be 700 x0.
I don't understand.

For Keith,
yes my Australian carrier was made at S.A. R..

cheers

I'll see if this works.
English Carrier number T58471 painted on side

At last!
Here is another

Your English Carrier T58471 incase you are interested is a 3" Mortar Carrier if this number is correct. One of a batch of 360 built between March 1941 and November 1941 by Sentinel Wagon, England. Can you confirm this number by any chance. It should be stamped on the edge of the armour infront of the drivers position.

Nigel,
thanks for the information.
But as you can see in the photo, there is not much left of the armour in front of the driver.
Can you please be a bit more specific.
