I have it on fine Aussie authority that the Carrier DVD will be available in NTSC format, and I'm first in line! The Year of the Blitz thingy is unfortunately available over here as a VHS tape (North American formats are different that the rest of the world) and I happen to have a stock of them if you're so inclined. It's worth it - Keefy does good work.

Thanks, Geoff and I can report the editing is well underway putting the Year of the Carrier DVD together.
As well as the Corowa event the program takes an in-depth look at the development and types of Carriers from LP1 to the prorotype LP3 in an interview with Mike Cecil, we also visit the Tank Museum at Puckapunyal to look at the tracked truck, 1 ton GS as well as their Lloyd carrier under restoration.
Other things of interest (I hope!) will be a segment on the Strickland Carrier which was a post war farmer's tractor version, and last but definitely not least a visit to Canada for a ride in Stuart Loy's Mk11 Star and some tips on how to drive over ice in minus 15!
The program will definitely be available in NTSC on DVD and I'm planning a director's commentary track and photograph gallery.
As mentioned elsewhere, the program is shot in widescreen and the sound is Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.
