Default the story so far

Hi Richard, I have borrowed this original plate as well as the left side plate. I have my own right side pattern, but will be making up all three from new mild steel. Ya does what ya can, wid what ya got! (I've just chewed though about 15 cut off discs)
I picked up a part lower hull with a cut floor that came with a T number, T53043
It's frame no. is 4291. my frame no. is 4282 only 9 different. Counting back, it is likely my lower hull came from T53034. No decision yet. The days of finding a complete usable hull in this country are possibly gone.
It will be a very original carrier. (some of it 2018 model) (is there an icon for "tongue in cheek"?) but I have many of the original bits that I gathered while trying to get my Bren carrier together.
Cutting out a new div. plate is next........
