Greetings -

I have been following this Forum for a bit now and have enjoyed reading and following along with many of your exploits! I have acquired a Universal Carrier Mk I* with some extra parts.

I will not be able to drag it home until mid March. I have purchased the three volume set of books by Nigel and they are awesome.

What I can't seem to find are any actual Manuals on the Carrier. Is there a publisher or source you guys use? Even a CD version at this point would be a bonus.

I have M135's and was able to scrounge and find pretty much all of those but the Universal Carrier Manuals are giving me fits.

I have googled and searched so please don't think I'm being lazy.

Any kick in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim
