Yes Andy it is always the bikes that grab my attention. But here are a couple more I came across today. No captions but obviously in the desert! Ron

[Michael R.]

Can you count the bikes?

Nice Bren pictures Stephen, where did you find those?

Couple from me. A Scout with some light tanks and some bikes abandoned at Dunkirk for Ron

Theres always a steady stream of carrier pictures on eBay but most have a sellers watermark. They can be quite useful but are spoilt a little due to the watermark. Shall we post them on this thread and have a rolling original/period photo thread? it would be a stream of new material......

Hello Ben.

Have picked them up over the years wherever I can find them, some may have appeared in books already but the more we can put out the better.

Ive been trying to track a local one down near me that was used on a farm for this and carrying a water tank (strapped to its back!)
Sadly with many it was cut up a few years ago when the scrap prices went sky high over here....!!!!
Whatever possesses people is beyond me!!
Apparently it was complete with all tracks, engine and slightly chopped top plating!! And all mine for scrap value and only about 5 miles from me!!!!
I would have towed it home for that by hand...!!!!!

It got a PM stating this image was recently posted for sale on eBay and it indicated the T-16 was in Burma.

Thanks,

I'm told that this one is actually on D Day?? The carrier has a James ML on the back. Followed by what looks like a MK2. Ron

Ron, I know that photo ... it is June 6th, in France. I will look for the details.
Is it Lion-sur-Mer?

Update ... Ask your chum if he knows this fellow in the mortar carrier with the wading screens. I suspect it is the same carrier from a different perspective, moments apart.

Notice the background detail ... the hotel in Hermanville? Is that 41 (RM) Commando?

[Ron Pier]

Ross it seems there is a Vet who lives not ten miles from me who was in this carrier group. He wants to visit me to be near a carrier again. The in between contact guy has told me they were something like 'Kings Shropshire Light Infantry' or something. I'll find out for sure soon.

Michael, your first picture is interesting from an Aussie, Kiwi view point, in that the bogie wheel rubber appears to have a similar profile to some of our carriers.
I have not seen that before on a riveted carrier wheel.
