Ive been trying to track a local one down near me that was used on a farm for this and carrying a water tank (strapped to its back!)
Sadly with many it was cut up a few years ago when the scrap prices went sky high over here....!!!!:wacko:
Whatever possesses people is beyond me!! :confused :bang: :fry:
Apparently it was complete with all tracks, engine and slightly chopped top plating!! And all mine for scrap value and only about 5 miles from me!!!! :whinge
I would have towed it home for that by hand...!!!!! :giveup :giveup :giveup :giveup

It got a PM stating this image was recently posted for sale on eBay and it indicated the T-16 was in Burma.

Thanks,
Hanno

I'm told that this one is actually on D Day?? The carrier has a James ML on the back. Followed by what looks like a MK2. Ron

James ML
 

Ron, I know that photo ... it is June 6th, in France. I will look for the details.
Is it Lion-sur-Mer?

Update ... Ask your chum if he knows this fellow in the mortar carrier with the wading screens. I suspect it is the same carrier from a different perspective, moments apart.

Notice the background detail ... the hotel in Hermanville? Is that 41 (RM) Commando?

Ross it seems there is a Vet who lives not ten miles from me who was in this carrier group. He wants to visit me to be near a carrier again. The in between contact guy has told me they were something like 'Kings Shropshire Light Infantry' or something. I'll find out for sure soon.

Michael, your first picture is interesting from an Aussie, Kiwi view point, in that the bogie wheel rubber appears to have a similar profile to some of our carriers.
I have not seen that before on a riveted carrier wheel.

spare hull, anyone?
 

a train load of newly produced hulls heading to the Ensite assembly line as an incomplete MKI*, milestone 12,000, goes on display.

Great photos Kevin.
Can you add any further details to any of these photos BAYSWATER in post 13, WHITLEY BAY in post 17, LEICESTER CITY in post 26, such as date / regiment or location?

cheers

Kevin

On ebay at the minute.

Whitley Bay is a five minute walk from me, wonder if those lads were Geordies and named their carrier after home town ? The first pic in that post was taken in Salerno I believe (from memory it was on ebay)

not seen too often
 

The carrier world:

Interesting that they have a Boys rifle in each carrier. The manual only called for one per carrier section I believe.

Early on, Rob, nearly every carrier, carried one. (not mortars and AOPs)

Lots of carrier pictures.

kev.

I have seen many of them before, and the image of the carrier speeding through the gate whilst braking is taken fom footage on pathe news :-) he does nt half come tearing through.

nice one Lynn
 

fantastic link Lynn, I'm always amazed at your detective like skills at unearthing carrier photos from random places.

Lew, It was Kevin

so it was
 

so it was, you still surprise me with the stuff you turn up!
Awesome link Kevin, always good to see carriers out doing their thing.

50 call.
 

Here are a carrier troop who relieved a 50 call machine gun from a crashed air-plane. Apparently they used a welded on vehicle jack as part of the installation. Not sure where they replenished ammo from? The carrier carries the name "RENOWN". Ron
