Default Defiantely a carrier

Hello guys,
The Hull as you can see is defiantely the remains of a carrier and nothing else, and there has never been any other suggestion that it is any thing else other than a carrier,I have been involved with carriers for close on 45 years, its the remains of a later model carrier, I judge this by the welding and signs of the remains of the various brackets now removed, the spockets whilst appearing to be different are mounted to an adapter plate this gives them a different appearence but there is no doubt that they are carrier sprockets, in fact they simply could not be anything else when you consider that they are being used with carrier track, the son told that they used the tank parts,and that his father and uncle fitted,and in the sons own words a large six cylinder engine< I dont think for one moment that the engine that I left behind was an original engine, just simply one that they had on hand at the time, its an interesting thing thats for sure, regards
ron
