Ian Shumsky shares a series of reference photos of a Ford Windsor Carrier, taken at the Cobbaton Combat Collection.
The Universal Carrier, also known as the Bren Gun Carrier or Ford Windsor Carrier, is a common name describing a family of light armoured tracked vehicles built by Vickers-Armstrong. Produced between 1934 and 1960, the vehicle was used widely by Allied forces during the Second World War. Universal Carriers were usually used for transporting personnel and equipment, or as machine gun platforms. With some 113,000 built in the United Kingdom and abroad, it was the most numerous armoured fighting vehicle in history.
