Picture
Here you go Phill
I can imagine how exciting it must be to actually find a pic of your very vehicle from all those years ago. Hope you've ordered a large print from the AWM.  Quote:

G'day Phil,
Congratulations! It's a great feeling, having an actual wartime photo of your very own vehicle isn't it? Dare I say it, it's almost like being part of a small but exclusive club of historic MV restorers  . I have two of my Australian army Weasel, one of which is on the AWM photo database as well.By the way - from time to time I still use parts of that jeep chassis you gave me, oh, fifteen years back  Steve.

Thanks
My thanks to all and especially George for putting me onto the pic in the first place !
Yes very exciting indeed. This is the third vehicle I have owned and had an 'in-service' photo of - 2 Pounder Carrier 6146, My Mk2 Ferret 115300 and now the Scout. By comparing the photo with my carrier in the shed last night I lost all doubt as the damaged left front fender, torn off mudshield, missing rear shovel bracket, damaged rear left mudguard and dented rear number plate bracket are all identical to my vehicle, as is the camouflage pattern that can still be made out. While stripping off the right air scoop yesterday I found the first trace of deep bronze green so far. I guess the right thing to do is restore it in DBG then add the two tone camouflage later. Many years ago I used to drool over the article in Wheels and Tracks 'A tale of two carriers' found in New Zealand. I never dreamed it could still happen like that. I only wish I was able to post up images as the restoration begins in earnest. The magic continues as I went for a walk at sunset and picked up a good Bren Gun pintol mounting under a tree. Now I wonder if it came off...  Cheers Phill
