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
