Blown Carrier - Milweb

[rob love]

If anyone in the whole war deserved medals, it was the guys in that carrier. They were getting hit from all sides.

[Paul Dutton]

The guy who restores this also needs a medal!!

[Lynn Eades]

I would like to have started with that much. There are two carrier projects in England that started out worse. There is a Loyd, project that has started from far worse.
And yes, he deserves a medal!

This Carrier was together with several carriers , and some Loyd`s on the Firing range in Elsenborn . They all had typical Belgian army lighting modifications , so they must have been used till the 60ies . The Loyd now under restauratin came also from the same batch.

The increase in Carrier prices has brought a huge number Carrier Projects on to the market but the bubble has burst now for those thinking they can get vast inflated sums for their vehicles, restored or otherwise.

Alistair's Loyd came from that batch...I know because I located it for him and he owes me a pint ��

Battle of the Bulge.... Gotta love these people ! Actually thinking on, this wasn't the carrier that landed in France along side sea wolf was it ?

[Paul Dutton]

W.E.L.L, theoretically speaking it did come off a range and at one time the Bulge was one BIG range, so an obscure link could be made!!!

That's right Richie, I still do! However my wife and my bank manager would probably rather punch you on the nose

I have seen a couple of other photos of that mk3 welded carrier wreck from when it was recovered from Elsenborn along with the two Loyds that I acquired. The carrier may be of use for small parts but anything large will be too distorted to use.....I know all about that! However it's often the small parts that are hardest to find.

The key is to have an many wrecks as possible, thus on the law of averages you should improve your chances of building one good machine. If I hadn't had two, the project would have died long ago.
