Default all carrier owners please submit your serials....

i am creating a spreadsheet with all the carrier serials / numbers etc etc etc. the more info i gather the more likely i am to trace my own..... plus there will be documentation of who has what and where in the globe.
please post up all ID numbers from your machine, stating what it is ie mk1 mk2 / mortar / etc etc. i will also take details of any T16's, lloyds, windsors, etc etc (just tracked carriers for now please) your name and location. even if nyou see a hull or carrier lying about please note its details so i can log it down.........if i cant get ford to keep documents i may as well start my own......obviously it will be shared amongst the MLU fraternity

cheers in advance guys

The weather was nice out today so I was out and about. Went out to my carriers and took good look at them, got numbers off two of them. On one I could only get lower hull number....5066
The other had more on it. Numbers on armour plate in front of driver are as follows....CT 113449 10/30/1942 Ford 11301 lower hull....0300

Cheers
Eric

Hi Eric, I think you need to look further at your lower hull number???

Lynn you were correct about the lower hull number, I went out with a wire brush and gave it a good cleaning. It was badly rusted so it took a fair bit of cleaning but did find another number. The hull number is 10300, was not able to see the one yesterday. It is so faint to see it
Thank you for correcting me.

Eric
