Brian Wolfe Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hello Everyone,Continuing with my posts from the Canadian Military Heritage Museum in Brantford, Ontario is a Universal Carrier also known as the Bren Gun Carrier. There is a Vickers MG displayed on top of the carrier and while at first it looks to be part of the vehicle I don't believe it to be so. These are one of my favourite armoured vehicles though they are thin skinned.This one has been restored by the museum and another awaiting restoration is in their parking lot. The day I was there was too rainy to use the camera outside so I will return to photograph that another time.I hope you like it.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Wolfe Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Here is the driver's area. The 1/2 crewman/mannequin looks to have been from the Blue Man Group.The are just in front of the camera would have been where the gunner sat. This could have also held the vehicle commander. The radio operator would have sat in the back.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 This is a photo of the typical radio set up. It is a Wireless Set No. 19 Mk 2.I'll also be adding this to my post of the WS19 No. 2 later.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Wolfe Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 This is a photo of the Vickers MG that sits on the Universal Carrier display, just in case you wanted a closer look.I would like to post some shots of the different machine guns they have in the collection at a later time so you may see this again but in better detail.Cheers Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IMHF Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 This is Awesome: do you think you can get a better picture of the Cardboard image on the Tank. I know a friend here on the GMIC who makes beautiful models from scratch: I would like to show it to him to get some ideas.Thank youLorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
