Guys,

Thanks for all your comments, thoughts and ideas.....very much appreciated!
Tim is correct that even though Holland is pretty flat, certain areas do show some hills....and also the soil in certain regions is quite soggy, which was a big problem with tanks in 1944/45. I presume soggy ground and heavy 17pounders is not an ideal combo either.

I. At get the carrier out and hang the gun on and post a little video

Shaun....that would be awesome!


By the way....just out of interest....is there anyone who has a restored carrier configured to Airborne specs? I don't think I have seen any in Nigels books. I do know I have seen one or two in airborne markings at the Arnhem Remembrance, but I don't think those had the airborne modifications (or omissions).

regards,

Alex
