Default TV Job this weekend?

Hi Fellas I have received the following mail, maybe some one here can help out?

Hi Nick,

I work for a TV company producing Britain’s Greatest Machines with Chris Barrie for National Geographic. I’m trying to find a working Universal Carrier for filming with this weekend (Saturday 3rd October) and was wondering if your carrier was up and running? I realise it’s very short notice! We plan to be filming in the Surrey area and would be very grateful if you could suggest anybody.

Many thanks,
Tom Lindley

what about Shaun Hindle down Thetford area, or even Nigel Watson up Dundee ? I know Shaun has done loads for various documentaries and movies too.......... if they want to run stories on wrecked carriers send them my way..... they could finish up with shots of shauns carrier running hahahahaha...... interesting side note for this would be Shauns grandfather was in the same regiment and platoon as my grandfather (we have photo's of them together) we had never met until i got into carriers.....two lads from same generation having restored (or restoring in my case) carriers out of respect / memory of theyre respective grand fathers


other than the above two i would say Kevin Powles is at a usable stage or Barry ?
