Early re-cycling. Thanks Richie for your message, I hav"nt a clue what facebook is and I do not think I want to get into that. I prefer personal contact by phone and maybe email

The one I bought belonged to Bart Vanderveen.I think he wrote an article about finding it . In the second issue of Wheels and Tracks.I should add that I did buy a HUA in with other vehicles from Baptys, the info on the HUA came from Peter Dinely so maybe the one I bought was yours.Does the attched picture look like the one you used to own

Hmm...I've seen that shape before. What does HUA stand for? A friend wanted to sell me this truck but the steering wheel is on the wrong side. You can tell I'm new to this

C8A HUA with registration 550 CPC belonged to Bart Vanderveen, who initially refurbished/restored it while he lived in England.
Via an unknown number of owners it ended up with Ian McCallum, who fully restored it.
It was then sold to Nick Bullock in 2003.

HTH,
Hanno

Nice to see your Carrier in 43rd Recce markings. That makes three Carriers including the two in the LHG.
Mine is currently located near Shepton Mallet.

To be 100% correct you need the large Chorehorse Generator in your Carrier. From memory the 80 watt model was developed late war for use with the 22 Set. This was not a normal fitment in Carriers.
