Bren gun carrier found
Good evening, I'm not one of the regulars here but registered so I could pass on some information. I was combing through the local scrapyard last weekend and came across the hull of a bren gun carrier. It was on it's side leaning up against some other scrap. I could peer around the ends and saw the pulpit in front and an empty engine bay in back but that's about it. There were just the dual road wheels on it. Over all it's beat up but looks like a whole hull, couldn't see everything the way it was positioned. I told the owner of the scrapyard what he had, but I don't know what he'll do with the information.
It's at J R Salvage & Son Ltd in Sussex, NB and the phone number is 506-433-6680 Stephen Peuramaki Mount Hebron, NB 506.432.3554

Steel prices
Considering the price of scrap steel these days, you might want to take one for the team and drag the carrier home for safe keeping. They aren't making any more. Old vehicles are a disease, but you may find other Maritimers who need some part or another (like the top armour), and will be glad you did the right thing.
As an example of the steel business, I hauled a small utility trailer load with 850lbs of snow-crushed garden shed panels, snow-crushed driveway shelter poles, leftover steel porch railings, steel rebars, ie. misc steel. The local steel recycler gave me $56.00 for my trouble. They were buying a metric tonne for $140. I have never seen their yard as full or as busy. They had dozens of piles of crushed cars easily 40' high. And there was a big gang of very sweaty labourers at the bus stop at quitting time.

I´m amazed at what still turns up in Canada and gets turned in for scrap. Sad really when you realise 9 out of 10 don't get noticed by someone who recognises what that rusty hulk is. H.

That's fantastic. I really hate to see something like that go . It would at least make a good half track for parades.
