Bob Grundy Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I know this Carrier and have photos of it at Porton Down. I was dealing with Neville Anderson of the Tank Museum with regard to obtaining it but those of you of a certain age will have known Neville so........

kevin powles Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Hi Bob, Can you post up the pics you have if it please. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 We viewed the Carrier in November 1995 but when we got there it was almost dark, hence the poor pics. It was in front of the gun sheds on top of a prominent hill at Porton Down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
