Normandy 17 pdr

[rnixartillery]

I believe it is a Crusader II 17 Pdr tractor with wading sides attached pretty much how it came off the landing craft. I think only a small number of crusaders were converted to the 17 pdr tractor role although armour is not my strong point so I'm sure I will be put right !!!

You were correct on the identification.

Do the Crusader and the Covenanter use the same track and suspension?

[Richard Farrant]

Going by its census number, the last digit is hidden, it falls in a group of numbers allocated to Crusader III, T125118 to 127269

No. Crusader has five road wheels each side; Covenanter has only four. Covenanter was originally known as A13 Mk III and has the same suspension as A13.
