[The Bedford Boys]

The Carrier World Record has stood for nigh on a decade now since 2005 in Corowa, Australia.

We Kiwis think it's time to take the trophy from you Aussies and place it on our mantelpiece next to the Webb Ellis Cup and Bledisloe Cup.

On January 16-18, 2015, the New Zealand Military Vehicle Collectors Club are hosting an attempt to break the record at the Wings Over Wairarapa Airshow.

The record attempt will be part of a Warhorses display at the show, which will also feature rides, section of WW1 trench, and themed displays of soft-skin and other armoured vehicles.

We aim to not only beat the record with numbers of carriers, but also with variety of models. Attending so far are 2 original Bren Carriers, Loyds, English and Canadian Universals and variants, and an example of each LP model and their post war military modifications (3" mortar, Flame thrower, MMG, 6pdr tractor) and others.

We hope to see a few MLU members hop over the ditch, or head down under, for a look!

We will post more updates later.

Keep Calm and Carrier On!
