Default Carrier History

Hi Brad
Here is a little history on your carrier. It was found just outside CFB Borden in the 80's. It was a runner but had no armour and a not so great track. It was taken to the base where it was mated to a MK11 that had armour, a good track and a bad engine. Instead of doing things the logical way the base workshops changed the armour : instead of the engine etc.When I aquired the carrier from the base I also got the extra carrier. It was a great hull with all the extra MK11 goodies. I changed the track and the carrier went to Holland ( Ruud Francissen)with a hull with complete armour. In Holland the engine was rebuilt and all the goodies transfered to the complete hull. I kept your carrier for a few years and had a lot of fun with it. It ran really well and looked not too bad. I lent it to
the Perth Regiment re-enactors and they saw fit to spray paint my bridge sign with grey primer so Les Fisher and Brian Gough painted it for me with what looks like the current colour.
I would appreciate if you could help me with the history of the sale. I am STILL trying to get paid for it from when I sold it.
Cheers,
Barry
