I replied to your email George what an excelent colelction you have !! your carrier (10128) has been chopped up exactly the same as mine, wonder if yours had been owned by the same logging firm as mine had ? would be great to find the firm and perhaps get some answers.... fromwatching Ax men on TV they dont appear to take care of theyre kit so i have no doubt even if we found the firm they would even remember the machine.

i noticed that it was slightly lager than a letter box, at a guess i would say perhaps this has been a wasp ? this would be no more than a guess, wither that or an owner has been trying to get better access to the cross tube and has cut an access window. George if you want me to host the pictures you sent me just let me know and i will start a thread for your carriers.

wel SMV team came back with results from my front armour, this is what they have come back with
Richie, We had a go as you know regarding the armour plate for a number this is the result : 14508 however the with the 1 it was unsure if it was an N as it appeared that there was a line before with a diagonal next to it the 450 is guaranteed with the 8 being pretty sure but at times appeared to be a poss 3 or 2. Hope this helps if not will try again at some point Ian anyone able to confirm if this is within a batch made 1942 by ford canada as i cant see in my lists ?

well utterly depressed i contacted the ford canada archavist in a bid to try and trace my hull and Georges (10128) but unfortunately he drew a blank i really wanted some concrete confirmation on the correct number for my carrier......i am really becoming bitter about it... every time i see a chopped down hull it brings a lump to my throat i only have the above possibility which does not correspond to any batch made by ford, can anyone else advise on a avenue of research i could take ? i have even tried to trace previous owners to no avail... Rob advises that he believes the chap he got the carrier from may be deceased now.
