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...!!!!!

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? Last edited by Michael R.; 14-06-13 at 21:44.

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.

spare hull, anyone?
a train load of newly produced hulls heading to the Ensite assembly line as an incomplete MKI*, milestone 12,000, goes on display.

Whitley Bay is a five minute walk from me, wonder if those lads were Geordies and named their carrier after home town ? The first pic in that post was taken in Salerno I believe (from memory it was on ebay)

Early on, Rob, nearly every carrier, carried one. (not mortars and AOPs)

50 call.
Here are a carrier troop who relieved a 50 call machine gun from a crashed air-plane. Apparently they used a welded on vehicle jack as part of the installation. Not sure where they replenished ammo from? The carrier carries the name "RENOWN". Ron
