Erik,
a friend of mine found a Bren Carrier at Malmo, in a junk yard, back in 2003. It was completely butchered, all the front armor was cut.
I wonder if it is still there!

Interesting but I donīt think itīs still there. Scrap prices has sky rocketed since then and everyone has cleared their yards. But who knows, I may be wrong. Please ask your friend where in Malmo and I will check it out.

Nearly all UCs I have seen in Sweden has had the armour cut in one way or another.

I would dig that carrier up any day of the week, as Kevin says the soil can preserve metal... Even some of the track can be used !

I'm sure everything there is in good shape. Tracks even had a good flex when walking on them. Problem can be the poor road that I'm obliged to repair if damaged by the digger and hauler truck.
As you can see on the photos soil has not got under the tracks... Very poor filling, luckily. Will decide recovery or not next week.
