erm...... none I think, cant recall if Nigels was Canadian or British.
however I beleive Bens are both british built (Scout / Bren) i wont cheat and trawl the threads though. Shauns could possibly be a Brit Mk1 i have not had a close look at it yet. EDIT: nope his are both Canadian built

Those fixtures date back to when the Carrier was used as a test rig at Chertsey. All to do with variable ground pressure when experimenting with the ideas of hovercraft.

Exactly so Richard. I was going to post up the Museum right up, but you've mostly covered it. The museum list it as a MK2 when in fact I'm sure it's a MK3. It's got strange tanks and piping inside. I'd love to get hold of it and make it correct. They disagree at the museum, stating that it is part of the history of the vehicle. To my mind it was something that was worthless at the time and a suitable hunk of iron to use as a test bed for other purposes. Their logic suggests that anyone who has retrieved a loggers carrier should leave it as such?? Next time I'm there I'll take some more pictures. Ron
PS sorry to high-jack Richards thread. I'll start a new one when I take pictures. Last edited by Ron Pier; 10-08-13 at 13:18.

I have left some things as they were on mine there is evidence of a winch being bolted to the glacis then cut out with a gas axe...I suppose the carrier above has its own story to tell..... But to leave a log skidder carrier like mine (and many others) as chopped up hulks s nuts.

Ron, Has the Bovington one got Air ducts in it?
Being Canadian it's a MkI* or a MkII* or a MkIII*. The * is the Canadian manufacture code. My understanding is that the MkIII (British or Canadian) has no air ducts. I have a British MkIIIW (welded hull)
