Airborne hand cart

Find the Airborne museum and ask their archivist. Since it is appropriate to their mandate, no doubt they'll have photos and documents on it or its brothers.

Yes will do later today Terry. I picked it up last evening so posted last night to see what information others might have. Ron

Hmmm! I contacted the airborne Museum at Duxford. They want £25 up front before the'll even look at anything...With no garantee of any answers. I think I'll wait a while and see what I can dig up else where. I'm sure there will be pictures and information in books on the subject. I just don't have those books. Ron

Hi Ron I found the picture of the handcarts made by the jaguar SS cars factory.
I think that nower days there are not as much handcarts left as showing in this picture, such a shame
I'll try to get some more pictures later when I am home.
cheers jaap

Wow! Thanks Jaap. That is a great picture. You say it's a Jaguar? Is there a caption with the picture? I'd appreciate anything else you find.

Regards Ron

Hi ron the text with the picture was that the jaguar factory made more items in the ww2 like airplane engines and handcarts as you see.
here are two more of the airborne at arnhem in 1944.
the first is on the landing zone of the south staffords and the second one is on route to the bridge on the utrechtse weg in oosterbeek.
cheers jaap
