Have any new pictures been found showing British Army use in NW Europe or just Canadian Army which is the normal assumption?

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?

Hi Bob,
The electrically powered T16 carrier was made in Aug 1944 and had a max speed of 21mph.
The report has 51 pages with photos and diagrams, part of the report is in Nigel Watson book Universal Carriers Vol 3
