i have seen the one with the parade, he has a veteran onboard at the time, i had visions of the croud getting diced up or the old boy falling out and getting crushed. that chap must go through tonnes and tonnes of tracks ? they are only good for 500 miles from what i have read ?

Hello richard thanks for the link to british Pathe, if only the serial numbers of the Scout Carriers could be made out...

It's an interesting comparison with the three generations of carrier (Bren, Scout and Universal) travelling along in convoy and in order of descendancy.

Cheers

Phill

There should be other footage somewhere as I have also seen a carrier bearing the name Colchester.

Cheers
Kevin

[RichardT10829]

i noticed on the side of the universal carrier it has SAod then 177/5 underneath, anyone able to elaborate on this ? when i freeze up the footage on the rear i beleive the number on the carrier is T 21483 ??

[RichardT10829]

here's one for you all guys....those with sky plus, go into the anytime TV there is a show advertised as world war II the apocalypse (in colour) early footage taken from the war when hitler invaded Belgium as a distraction technique there is footage of the british and french army rolling through, and a fantastic section of colour footage of a true bren carrier T2630, close up you ca see the writing the boys have grafiti'd along the side armour ! worth a look if you can guys.... just paused it to come on here there may be more yet to come

[The_Stainless_Steel_Rat]

Hi Scott

I enjoy these old news films, one aspect of them that I really get a kick out of the differences in style from company to company and from nation and nation.

Did anybody spot anything funny about the Lightening that was shown in one segment?

Cheers Phil

[motto (RIP)]

Phil, do you mean the one flying with the nose gear extended and the main gear retracted?

Looks like somebody forgot to remove the ground pin

This looks to be the same carrier in the video above. I really liked the parade. However I do think the person driving was being rather dangerous by showing off. At the 1:30 portion of the film you will see what I mean. From the camera angle he looked rather close to a number of people.

I agree with you Jordan, but he is a very good carier driver in a very good carrier.

[RichardT10829]

its ok Iam sorry that i like many other Englishmen are too ignorant to speak a fluent second language. Iam presuming that the main language in Argentina is Spanish, if not i am clearly showing further arogance, anyways here goes nothing

Gracias Pablo, espero que yo haya traducido este correctamente, su portador T16 es fantástico y realmente disfruté mirándolo en Youtube espero que yo pueda llegar a un acuerdo con el Puñal en su portador en Holanda entonces puedo disfrutar de una máquina que mi abuelo condujo durante WW2


cheers

Richard
i hope i have got this right Pablo

[Jordan Baker]

but he is a very good carier driver in a very good carrier

Maybe so but try telling that to the people who would be run over.

Anyway great looking carrier and videos.

I hate to admit it, but those pirouettes in a public parade scared the crap out of me... if that bugger had thrown a track in the middle of one of those, things might have gotten really interesting in a hurry...

[zemsi]

... here's a footage from
Aussie

[Jordan Baker]

I found on Youtube some footage of the rather odd Praying Mantis version of the Carrier.

I think I would be suffering from motion sickness trying to drive that damn thing.

[Lionelgee]

Hello All,

I found a link from the site Southern Ontario Military Muster that shows some footage of couple of CMP's that have been restored in Canada. It is called
Restoring Glory - featuring Geoff Bottoms and Mike Timoshyk's restored Ford Army trucks in Windsor, Ont.

Enjoy

Sorry Carrier people I just realised this old thread was in your section and not the soft skin one - I have asked the moderators to shift it - my apologies

Kind Regards
Lionel

[RichardT10829]

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

In a little bit of cross pollination from another forum, this one just got posted on the antique Lincoln Forum site, I can remember if it has been posted on MLU but it is kind of interesting, definitly pitched at a younger age group.

Hi All

Was looking through the vidios listed on the Hagerty Insurance Web Site and found this this one on the Long Range Desert Group vehicles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yxnyvcfiho

They got over 400 videos, many look to have been professionally done, haven't found and more Military Vehicle ones yet. But fun viewing.

You may recognize a name. MLUer should recognize the truck.
