Default Carrier in a field

Ok I've been following the thread about Shaun's find. So who will be the first to check this out? 'Coz i'm never going to get round to it. Here are the co-ordinates for a field in the middle of knowhere in south west UK with a hord of MV's. There are some QL's a Dingo and a Carrier. (At least when I got this information)
Type these exactly or COPY/PASTE them into Google Earth.
51 06'52.84"N, 3 14'40.42"W
I'd be very interested to know the outcome or comments.

Ron

old news Ron after we discussed this last time around i chased up the whereabouts / owner along with Martyn..... the T16 has been sold and the ql's scrapped only the Dingo remains and it has been moved, owner will not sell. the dingo is an early one with the steel lid on it.

EDIT: there was half a 1930's car there too. i still have the pics somewhere



EDIT EDIT: and dont get me started on the carrier in the hedgerow again ahahaha tried for six months to get that one the owner wont let it go and looking at it, i reckon another 5 years or so and it will be a flat pack rebuild like Martyns was all the rivets are starting to pop off you see. I tried everything to get that one even if it was the bare hull.
