Have also included a couple of photos of carriers in service with the New Zealand forces serving in Italy, showing the patterns and markings our carrier will be finished in.

I see that your carrier and Peter Ashton's are from the same contract

Ross has another plate with a number only a few before ours, that makes at least 3 from that contract here. Will get some headlight photo's & measurements this weekend. Any other NZ Mk1's with similar numbers out there?

[Rob Beale]

we have T80068, which is in the same batch as Dave's 3" mortar carrier.

Progress on your carrier is impressive guys. Looking forward to seeing it mobile.

I have carrier T84089, plus brass plaque T83601, there’s a guy just out of Christchurch with carrier T83622. All three (3” Mortar Carriers) come from the same contract. He also has a brass plaque with T80900.
It would seem a number of the English Carriers that came to NZ are from one of three contracts.
I'd like to attach some images but I don't understand (please enter the URL of your image) what do I need to do, can anyone help.

Regards, Brian

I like the way both these carriers have been 'field-fitted'...

BTW, what's the machine gun mounted on the rear of the first carrier? Haven't had my coffee yet, which means the circuitry between my eyes and brain is malfunctioning...

Looks like a 7.92mm BESA
