T16's - there were 3 in the pile on my first vist , and only 2 the next time so i made sure they were not going to cut them up. i recovered them about 2 years later, one is now being restored by a friend near manchester the other i sold to Kevin Wheatcroft, but i have seen it on milweb in the last year for sale again and still not restored.

Here is the first carrier i recovered and restored,(yes there is a carrier in the first photo ) it had a mountain of scrap infront of it and a tree grown trough the rear. after many hours over several weekends we finally recovered it. it was a MMG carrier, I loaned all the MG fittings to a guy to copy and never got them back. as soon as it was home i tried a bren for size and it still fitted !

In 1998 i had a call from the guy how owned the farm and said did i want to clear the rest of the carriers up, so i organised a team and we set of to see how many were left. the problem being the recovery as there were piles of scrap trucks and crap 6 feet high not to mention the man shredding brambles. After a couple of calls to mates a 434 tracked REME wagon was borrowed as well as a tractor and trailer. we located the remains of the carriers and waded in with the 434 and a chain saw. the carrier hanging from the jib is one of the carriers martyn used as a pattern for his copy.

In total i recovered 11 carriers or the remains of from the farm, that was untill this christmas when i was driving past the farm on my way home thinking "it was 26 years ago i got my first carrier from there, B***ER me there another one and its right along side the road" . that was the carrier found in the hedge. I have since been back over the last week and covered every inch of the land and i am sorry to say that is finaly it, there are no more. But it does just go to show you never can be to sure. There must be more scrap yards with kit hidden way at the back.
more photos of the 1998 recovery |

Last summer my son and I found 2 carriers in a local yard. One is under a pile of scrap and maybe top armour is cut off and the other was shortened to be a snowplow. Owner said they could be for sale but I've never followed up on this. I don't have a price on them but may go back in spring to have another look

I'm still waiting till spring to go see a carrier that I saw last fall , way back in the bush It was painted black and had steering levers .The CT number was stamped on the right side of the fan cover .It was not a normal type of carrier .The levers looked like a Loyed they wern't home made .I should have taken some pictures . Another trick that works is .Put a wheel or armor plate in the back of your truck for people to see and park it in front of the local coffey shop ."fish bait" You will have more people tell you where there is more things than you can remember .I got my halftrack and 8 ton Fruehauf lowboy trailer that way .This trailer was used to haul the carriers and small cats D2,D4,s
