If its the same, it never had any air ducts She's an AOP No? MkIIIw, Built by Ford at Dagenham, probably. I would love to see any details of her. Is there a "T" number, or ID plate?
I am looking for the details of the observers (gunners) shutter. the plate, the profile etc of the frame/guides, Locking mechanism, and the handle. Cheers.

Hi Lynn
this carrier had been cut off two inches above the welds around the side armour couldnt tell you if it was a op or not, my friend is trying to find a few photos of it when he got it as a pumping rig. At the moment my friend has just built it back up as best he could to get it to look like a carrier. as soon as get back to see it will see if any numbers have been stamped on anywhere ?

carrier remains?
Hi Martyn
A few years ago I found the remains of a carrier still being used in a quarry as a pump. The armour had been cut and a big water pump was instaled. The cement works still used this machine daily until about 2006. It was yellow and had the British worsley wheels ( round holes ). If this is the same carrier I have a video and some stills. I'll dig them out. Barry

Hi Barry
i know the one my friend had it too that was a mk2 he sold it and now its in a very poor state now it fell in to the hands of a carrier wantabe how should i say he F@*ked it about not knowing what he was doing, he thort a carrier was just a box on tracks and an easy project but unlike a jeep you carnt just pick up the phone and order the parts or scank other peoples take off parts. it would still make a nice carrier but would need all new frame, floor, and bulkhead he cut them all out with out taking any measurements then sold it to another chap i have found it again the chap who purchased my 2nd carrier has it iam thinking of asking if he wants me to restore it back to a propper hull for him. will take some photos of it when i nxt go over to see him. Anyway if your in lincoln or near by drop in i owe you a carrier drive hahahaha been a long time since beltring mate lol
