Kevin.

Yes mate the very same it is riveted to the centre bulkhead and has the kinks in it where it meets the armour squares in the corners.
Cheers, thought for a moment I was going to have to jump in my car and pop down to the Bovington tank museum.

Why would you contemplate that Richard? At Bovy they only have a MK2 experimental and the strange Praying Mantis thing. Ron

The Tank museum is certainly worth a visit if you come down this way on holiday or something. It is supposed to be a TANK museum, but some exhibits have ended up there by default and not strictly correct if somewhat related.
Here are the carriers. Ron |
