Tony's "land" is the best, so far. (my opinion)
As stated somewhere else on this forum lately, "Just because it comes from a book, doesnt make it the truth" (or something along those lines)
When it comes to Carriers, as in other areas, there is much in print, in books,that are supposed to be akin to "bibles", that contain a lot of B.S....and the www is a damn sight (pun intended) worse.

I asked the question elsewhere on the WWW, and THIS was the response.

Thanks everyone for your inputs
I think I should mention the "L" in question is on my Brit Universal Carrier.
Lynn, my Arm OP Carrier has a rivetted hull but no nomenclature plate

Have you and Nigel Ward met? I would guess you already have, but if you're unaware, Nigel also has a riveted O.P.that he is currently rebuilding. (he is on this forum)
Bill is the observers shutter intact on yours? I have no details, other than some poor images. Would you be able to provide some details, on how it locks etc?

Hi Lynn, my wife and I are leaving for Melbourne soon [2 hour drive] and will be back on Monday will take some photos early next week. You may have to guide me as to how to attach photos on MLU.
PS I know Nigel
Regards
Bill
