I was approached by a German chap who incidentally was dressed as a German soldier just as I was about to leave the arena in the carrier... He took great pride and pleasure telling me that his grandfather blew lots of these vehicles up in his tiger killing lots of British.... Have to admit I bit my lip real hard ! Suppose he has the right to be proud of his grandpa just as I was with mine
Listening to folk talking about the carriers spouting off utter nonsense about them made me laugh ! Even some of the organisers were clueless "here we have some T16 carriers, or here are some universal carriers they are very common" wrong wrong wrong... Seemed there was a bit of animosity towards the poor carriers. :-)

FYI for track tensioning, before I got a snail, I used a crowbar with the curve in the end. Put a piece of 1X4 against the hull, hook the crowbar against the pin on the idler and lever away.

Some of the lads at W&P. It was great to finally meet up with the guys i've been talking to via MLU over the last few years.
......And a few thoughts to go with the following pictures.
