I was asked if they could use my carrier for the film (1995) but seening as i had just started a new posting i would not let it go. my mate sent his (the one that was on milweb just before christmas). They were painted sand by the film company and then back to green after they had been finished, he was appauled by the paint finish when it came back to him. It was so bad he put it at the back of the shed and left it there in shame.
My carrier "Puddle Jumper" was used in "D-Day to Berlin" along with my another mates one "Windy".
If you watch the film "the way ahead" they push very realistic wooden carriers and wooden Dingos over the side of a sinking ship. There is a really brilliant film with Arthur Askey in ( i cant remember what it was called)where he is a carrier crewman, all sing and servicing early carriers. then there is the start of a "Canterbury tale" with carrier tearing through the country side and attacking a horse and cart. ok so its off to you tube !
