I tried for ages to grab this and apparently they have a second one too. Was told making one good out of the two, owned by a trust,, spoke to several of them over this year and told the same thing that they will put it to the committee meeting etc.....!

I have known of this one for many years, apparently it was laying in water (maybe at Pounds) and bottom is rotted out and engine sump has rusted away just leaving the flange attached to block, so it was like that before they got it I imagine. They have a running Carrier and I was asked to repair the gearbox and they showed me a spare box, (which came from the rusty Carrier) and it had been full of water.
