Default Carrier on MILWEB

http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/la...ad=54125&cat=1

Did they ever make a welded hull in (1944) Mk2 format ? cant see any rivets, was not sure if its actually a Mk3, or if the top armour has been replaced and welded on during a restoration.

yours for 40.000 euros ( £33.090 GBP ) comes with 1000kg of spares... located in Holland...... no connection to the seller, Dirk anyone you know ?

The fold down flap on top the gunners position is the British pattern if indeed it has not been fabricated.

Hello Chaps,

I know this gentleman. We have been at events with our Carriers together. It's a nice Carrier but requires tidying and a repaint. I think he is selling because of his age. He has problems handling it. Take a look at the attachments for more pictures.

Cheers,
Marc
