The Bedford Boys Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 The Carrier WorldRecord has stood for nigh on a decade now since2005 in Corowa, Australia. We Kiwis think it's time to take the trophy from the Aussies and place it onour mantelpiece next to the Webb Ellis Cup andBledisloe Cup. On January 16-18, 2015, the New Zealand Military Vehicle CollectorsClub are hosting an attempt to break the record at the Wings Over WairarapaAirshow. The record attempt will be part of a Warhorses display at the show, which willalso feature rides, section of WW1trench, and themed displays of soft-skinand other armoured vehicles. We aim to not only beat the record with numbers of carriers, but also with variety of models. Attending so far are 2 original Bren Carriers, Loyds, English andCanadian Universals and variants, andan example of each LP model and their post war militarymodifications (3" mortar, Flame thrower, MMG, 6pdr tractor) and others. We hope to see a few forum members hop over the ditch, or head down under, for a look! We will post more updates later. Keep Calm andCarrier On!
