Hi all,

Having of late been reading about loyd carriers. I seem to be struggling to find any nice interior shots or plans of there different crew configurations, is anyone able to help?

Kyle,

This is what I could find on the internet:



Also, look up these issues of Wheels & Tracks magazine:

ISSUE No. 48 (July 1994)
The Loyd Carrier - Profile of the Loyd-designed Tracked Carriers by David Fletcher.

ISSUE No. 49 (October 1994)
Loyd Carrier Variants -SP gun mounts and other developments, by David Fletcher.

HTH,
Hanno

I've got Loyd info piled up in the office, let me know what you want and I can scan it in for you. Are you interested in the TS&C, TPC or the TT? The first two have a bench seat and the TT has 4 individual seats.

Hey thanks for the replays guys much appreciated.
Ajmac, what got me looking at them was when the one popped up for sale recently and was trying to figure out what the configuration was for the interior of that as if I'm not mistaken is this one supposed to tow the 2pdr so what's the difference between this and the tt for the 6pdr?

How comes there is so few in combat pics of them?

The 2pdr gun tower was the first version of the TT. The interior layout on that example was transferred to the mass produced TTs that towed the 6 pdr and the 4.2" mortar trailer.

Ajmac,

Perfect that's great information, so does the one for sale have the 4 interior seats as can't seem to see them, where are they located. Sorry for all the questions.

Does anyone have information on bin 5 in the left drawing? I was given a bin like that a while back..

[ajmac]

Number 5 is a ration box according to the manual.

I am not sure if the early one that's forsale has four seats or just the drivers. Have a look on my Facebook, there are some photos of restored Loyds, but I don't think there are any photos that show all the original seats fitted.

I wonder if that seat is the same as the one on a 2pdr AT gun? It looks very similar. Do you have any dimensions for this type of seat Alastair?

Alex, Although I've been lucky enough to handle an unrestored TT seat I didn't take any dimensions, but can confirm that it was exactly the same as the drawing in the parts book.
