Default Dated wheels


Photographed recently, this carrier has dated tyres and wheels. There seem to be two different types of road wheels here, and this carrier has both. I hadn't noticed dates before - 1941 for the wheel and 42 for the tyre.

Default Carrier Details

Hi Keefy
Did you get any hull and manufacturing details off this relic plus its location and ownership. Be good information for my Carrier database, especially with the addition of the dated wheels.

Hi Bob
We should compare notes... I have over 200 carriers on a database here... I can email it to you in Excel format.
This particular carrier belongs to Jim Bennie and is missing the data plate and the one above the diff was too rusted to read.

Hi Charlie
No details - see the post above.
Would love to see your Carrier database - there are several people here with lists - we should integrate them.
Regards, Keith
