[Alan McGuinness]

What appears to be a T16 appears here at about 33:30. Does anyone recognise the location?

As Ron said, it’s in Nijmegen according to the commentary. Problem with this type of documentary is that one can never be sure if they use actual footage of the fights or battles they describe.

The Church and statue in the background should help in narrowing it down.....but no luck yet!

Is that an airborne 6 pounder that shows to the left of the carrier and 6 pdr?

Interesting Jeep too.

Also, the YouTube video linked to above, with the church and statue in the background, is no longer available

Here is a T16 that is a one off. Original ww2 document from my collection.
There are more photos in the document.

I've read about his T16 with electric drive, interesting stuff.
(Maybe we should we call it the Tesla-16? )

On closer inspection of the photo and with guidance from an expert, the conclusion is this is not a T16 but a Windsor Carrier in service with "troops with the 11th Armoured Division moving off".

The Carrier in the photo has the first style sand shields and 6pdr blast shield folding mounting arms, so it is definitely a Windsor. No T16s were used by British units during WW2 in NWE.
