Default Conger I and II

Universal carrier with Conger 1" device was not used operationally and evolved during march 1944. This was a similar but smaller version of the conger 2in carried in the carrier mkII. The vehicle was fully self-propelled. The line charge could be fitted into any carrier that had been modified to carry the wasp flame equipment.
The Universal carrier with Conger 2"device evolved in Jan 1944 for mine clearance in assault. It was engineless towed into operation by a Sherman or Churchill AVRE. It saw limited service and was modified to Conger configuration by Chubb&Sons Ltd, Wolverhampton.
The explosive device and launcher was the Conger, actually, the carriers were just Universal Carrier With Conger Device.
