Default T179151

I have just become the New owner of MKII carrier T179151.
She is fantastic!
She was restored by Maurice Kellington over a period of 15 years.
Unfortunatley Maurice pasted away last year. He was a father of carrier restoration. and a draftsman by trade he has produced tec drawings for just about every part of a carrier to aid restoration.
His carrier is a credit to not only all who served in carriers, but to this remarkable man.
I am proud and honoured to be the new owner, But saddened at the lose of a true carrier friend.

Barry, congrats on the purchase of the Mk II!

What about TD 99044? Will you keep it or sell it?

Cheers,
Hanno

sorry for delay in repleying. Work gets in the way.

It's quite possable I have the drawing you reqiure, but it is going to take some time to go though what Maurice has done, get them scanned, and logged etc.

Hanno nice to here from you

Yes I had to let T99044 go (sad), But storage was becoming a problem, she is a good carrier and I'm sure shes gone to a good home.
I'm sure Paul will keep on showing her at shows.
