Glad you like it Ron. When I first took it out People were just as interested in the 80 watt charging set as in the carrier itself. If anyone would like some pictures of the charger I will take some and put them on. John

Default Bren carrier

Ithink that the carrier you saw in The Bridge Too Far is the one I have. The Vehicles for the film were supplied by Baptys of London. In the early 1980 I bought 19 of their vehicles.The German vehicles I bought were all in the film. If you look near the beginning you will see the Dutch boy riding along the canal bank, he comes accross a German sentry and during this shot you will see a Type 40 Horch, it also appears right at the end coming over the bridge with I think, some prisioners aboard
