John,
That's the image I was after.
If you look closely, they are higher than the camo net behind them (on a raised deck).
The LCT pennant number is 2338.
LCT (CB) 2337 is the vessel that carried the 13/18 Hussar CB Fireflies ashore.
Too close for coincidence? It would make sense to convert a batch of LCTs to a specific role rather than picking random examples. I suspect that they may have converted before or shortly after they were commissioned.
Most of the LCTs in the photo are carrying engineer vehicles and the pennant numbers vary. The chalk numbers however, are fairly sequential
I disagree with Mark - the CB Fireflies for 13/18 Hussars can be traced fairly easily and they didn't land with C Sqn - all four C Sqn Fireflies can be linked to a commander and neither Knowles nor Ellis feature in that list.
Cheers,
John
