Mel
Good to see that there is a forum member in the U.K, with a British built carrier. Is this is a MkI. converted to a MkII? It looks very smart. Are you able to tell us a bit about it? (maker,T number, etc.)
Can you point me to a supplier for the blackout light? It would be for a Dagenham built AOP MkIII? I am looking for the 2 side lights if you can help with them as well.

It's looking great Mel. Gordon has told me about it......but what does he know?
It's good to see it for the first time. We'll have to get together and you can show me yours and I'll show you mine  RonPS I have an 'H' licence.

Looking very good Melvin! Do you have some additional data on the Carrier? I noticed the hinged Mk1 style armour on the left front but it also has the Stacey towing hook that normally would only be on a Mk2. Very interesting Carrier for sure.
Cheers,

If you think about posting pictures from the angle that you might be helping someone else does that make it easier?

Hows he brave ? am i missing something hahahaha. carrier looks great just the lads have a few queries about it... i was going to ask about the roundbar on the rear armour but forgot.
Mel can you tell us all a bit about your project and how you came to get a carrier and what state it was in etc etc I speak for myself but i am sure others are as interested to hear your stories as much as i am buddy. Rich
