Dear Doc,
I am related to the Fairbanks, my grandmother was sister to James Fairbank. As a child I played on the Karrier. My great-uncle bought lots of post-war surplus, including empty sea-mines, used as waterbutts. They had some glider carriers, which went to Eden camp museum. There is nothing left now.
The connection to Bradford is that was where the family originate from, James Fairbank's father, James Arthur Fairbank was a mill and coal mine owner, and upon moving out of the business, moved to Appleton-le-Street. The Karrier may have been owned by a relative or bought in Bradford.

Doc,
The karrier has never looked better, it probably never looked as good while in use. The Fairbanks would have admired your efforts.
Martin.
