2Pdr Attack Carrier

[Rob Sanders]

Well as an owner of said book I have to say it has been most useful. Of the 200 or so built my one was the second one off the production line, so therefore hull no.6001

Hello Rob,

Not sure if you have seen this photograph? Accessed 10th of June from, https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/l...ank-gun/574438 It is a shame that they only posted up a single photo. It would have been great to see a full walk-around!

PS: I did find a walk-around online ... https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictur...nk-gun-carrier. Scroll down on the webpage and it leads to a video. I found the direct link to the walk-around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9zrUog51G8

PSS - Found another video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk5XDSx7h0s it looks like the same carrier that was sold at Sothebys and it being driven around its new home at the time.

Kind regards
Lionel

Rob,

Good to hear you have a copy and it is useful.

Lionel,

The video is of the carrier while still at the Littlefield Collection, from where it was sold.

Don't know where it resides now.

Hi Lionel
thanks for the links, as Mike said this was the one at the Littlefield Collection. Mine still has a long way to go but on the plus side I have about 90% of all the parts including a reasonably complete gun. Now its just a matter of time

I believe the vehicle that was used for the official maint. manual photos is still surviving. It belonged to MLU member Phil Hastings at one time

6146 is indeed still about (and owned by a forum member), and in very fine condition.

Got the hand wheel machined and fitted to the elevation mechanism. A long project but worth the effort.
Also fitted the guards and almost finished rebuilding the brake and clutch pedals.
Small steps but progress
