Thanks guys for your comments/support. Sorry this book has been a long time coming but a variety of circumstances like an operation, loss of a close friend and warehouse fire put it back somewhat. Still its here and does contain lots of information which will put a few things straight, make us all look at our carriers again! (me included!) and be amazed at what went on in the carrier world during the conflicts.

As far as the LP carriers are concerned Rob my research and chapters on these are from the standpoint from over here I'm afraid. The information I found over here. I don't think a vehicle historian should write in depth about vehicles unless he has been to the country they were made in, and unfortunately I couldn't make it to Australia and new Zealand.

I am also trying to establish a network for sending books abroad and distributing them from the country so as to reduce shipping costs. Also some form of discount for MLU, carrier owners and of course veterans as these books are 350 or so pages, but until I get my final costs this has to wait.

There will be a web site from which you can access the books from or come to Beltring this year.

Will keep MLU posted and if you have any hopes or ideas which you would like to see in a Carrier Book then fire away and I'll see if it's covered (which I hope it will be!)
