Default LP2A found and recovered

Hello All,after hearing lots of stories and chasing up many leads on carriers which all ended in dead ends finally a break through! .
Found this little Sweetheart,It was bought from a surplus auction
after the war and then
sat in the paddock and used as an anvil!.apparently the farmer who bought it found the steel to hard to cut.(thank goodness).so added a pipe clamp and half a steel wagon rim and used it to bend and hammer stuff.

Hi Justin - just replied to your PM. I can take the images off here. Well done, especially with the Maker's Plate intact. I suppose you will need a second panel soon, although I would be concentrating on this Carrier and put #1902 on hold. ANOTHER ONE SAVED, HALLELUYA!!
Bob
