come to think of it, I recall them having one. They would have bought it at the same auctions that the Crook Brothers bought theirs I assume. Like all things, by the end of the war the war machine was churning out paraphernalia at a rate of knots much to be left unused. I recall my father having sales catologues for crated Spitfires for something like £800. A story he loves to regale to me. However, one forgets that £800 back then was a serious ammount of money. Anyway, I wouldnt mind guessing that there are one or two carriers in crates still left. I do know where there is a delivery mileage Windsor. Sitting in a shed, its actually in gloss green but has 87 miles , from recollection on the clock and has its full tilt still erected. The man will not sell but he wont ever do anything with it either, so rest assured it will appear one day. I am monitoring it.
