Hi Bernard, welcome to the forum and especially to the Carrier part!!
There doesn't seem to be much on the Mine Clearing Carrier which was fitted with a water cannon. It's great though that your dad operated one. All I have managed to unearth at the moment is the photo attached. There's bound to be others somewhere.

I'd be interested in any details you may have from your dad's experience with it.
