The joy of my job - getting paid to work on carriers
As a museum consulatant i hold contracts with some of our national military museums, i get called in to move guns, soft skins and armour . Over the last few days my team and i have been working in a storage building for one of the biggest Army museums in the country.
One of the vehicles we were moving was a British MK 2 carrier. Its never been rusty just well robbed and a mish mash of bits. It was last worked on in the mid 70s by some one who did not really know carriers. here are some photos (oh and yes it has the lingage cover behind the drivers seat)
