Must go and wrap some presents and put out the milk and pies. Can you boys south of the line let me know when the great man lands on your roof!

Merry Christmas from a white cold snowy beautiful Scotland

The only example of universal "Bren" carrier in Greece, is a remarcably preserved machine owned by the Korean veteran Kostandinos Faros, who gave me the numbers:

Number: T249393
Engine Ford 18633130

No, Lynn, the sign depicts the head of Athena... (Minerva) the sign of the greek mechanised divisions that period. Today has changed slightly
