More chance it is a Dingo. Lifting eye give the answer. I may be wrong but do not think the Lynx has these in that place.
Cheers,

'Scuse me you two!
![]() ![]() ![]() George, would you happen to have any pictures of the inside of the left side that shows the jack or jack bracket in place. also the Bren 250 round bracket and container, and back on the otherside, any other angles you might have. A couple of us in the world wait with interest.

Firstly, it was a Daimler Scout, taken at Cobbaton actually.
The Photo of the Boys ammo boxes is actually the other side of the same carrier featured in Nigels book you mentioned previously. It is actually a Machine Gun carrier, the type converted to Bren carriers. Of interest, I am not sure of the origin of the stowage diagram you posted, David Fletcher found these for the Cavalry Carrier, Scout and Bren. I sent copies to Nigel. David had known about them, but they were "lost", they had been mis-filed and he came across them by accident looking for something else. Of note, the Scout stowage bears no relation to the actual stowage seen on any photo's I have, so I have some issue with the Bren. The originals were p/copied from a series in the IWM collection, I was basically interested in the stowage arrangements, so concentrated on that detail rather than "historical" information. I'm including what I have, but there appears to be nothing on the jack stowage, and the original drawings of the MG carrier, though detailed, do not show anything either. I have converted them to a low res format, email me if you want hi-res, but remember, they are photocopies. Now stop fighting you lot. George. |

Thanks for the extra photos, first class. Email to follow. The last photo, bottom left seems to show the bracket for securing the jack. They are the best internal pre UC photos I've seen. All the best Ben |

Hi. The bracket seen in the oregroungd of the last picture is (I believe) the bracket for the 250 rounds of 303 box. It is beside the spare barrel box, and forward of the jack bracket.
THe backets are made from angle iron, but unlike the universal carrier jack bracket, the Bren brackets appear to have all had the "flat" of the angle iron to the outside. This allow the bins/boxes to sit lower on a flat surface (not on top of fasteners), but made the brackets bulkier. I have all the hole patterns for the Bren because the N.Z. L.P. Bren was an exact copy (the stowage plan for the Bren is the same as the hole pattern from my L.P. guards. George, I am looking for any info on those boxes shown in your photos, which are so very helpful to Ben and I. George, I m very keen to have these photos in the best resolution you can do, including the one on the right side showing the Boys ammo bin on the right side engine cover. Many thanks George.
