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

I'm a friend of the museum and I've been there hundreds of times Richard and I've never seen one, and I've been privvy to the reserve collection. There must be another option between Dorset and the North East! Ron

I have never been matey can't believe they don't have a mk1 tish humpf !

Most folk I know of downwards have mk2's and upwards the only mk1 I know of is Nigel's and that's in Dundee in barbarian territory

Actually now that you got me thinking, Rick, Shaun, and Kev have mk1's.then there is Ben who is a connoisseur having the scout and the Bren

I could burgle all those guys... I mean ask those guys

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
