They might have been seen before...but what the hell!
First two are in the Netherlands. Not sure where the third one is. But obviously a Mortar Carrier. Ron

Ron, Nice pictures, you often see mortar carriers with the stacey on the back.

Cant make out the writing on the front of the Lyod.

Found these pics recently.

Interesting picture, where did you find it?

Looks like a T16 in SE Asia:

All the Best Andy B

Yes Andy it is always the bikes that grab my attention. But here are a couple more I came across today. No captions but obviously in the desert! Ron

Michael R. · #6 29-04-13, 16:16

Nice Bren pictures Stephen, where did you find those?

Couple from me. A Scout with some light tanks and some bikes abandoned at Dunkirk for Ron

Theres always a steady stream of carrier pictures on eBay but most have a sellers watermark. They can be quite useful but are spoilt a little due to the watermark. Shall we post them on this thread and have a rolling original/period photo thread? it would be a stream of new material......

Hello Ben.

Have picked them up over the years wherever I can find them, some may have appeared in books already but the more we can put out the better.

Ben · #10 29-04-13, 21:46

One you don't see very often. Abandoned in Dunkirk. I don't think any survive today.

One of my favourites (and the scheme my carrier is based on)

And this photo is what started me into carriers

Ben · #21 30-04-13, 22:39

Couple of interesting ones there. I like the LP1's ?? In the workshop, the canvas light cover on the Bren (not seen that listed in the parts book) and I don't fancy going swimming in a carrier......
