odd carrier.
Not seen a carrier like this one featured in the picture nearest the camera, It's not a T16 ?.
 A resident of Aalst offers a cigar to his Irish liberator 18th sep 1944.

Odd carrier
Carrier and wheels would be late U.K. production. The headlight is the same as the MkIII. (single one in the centre)
Anyone have a spare for sale? Filler in the gun slot is waterproofing for beach landing. From Nigels book a Wolseley 3" mortar carrier, the other is by Thornycroft.

just goes to show that because it does not conform to the normal its wrong. i have seen odd wheels like this but some times on German vehicles. this vehicle is also missing the firing rest across the top of the rad. Well spotted Kevin.

Kevin, i reinacted the same thing with a telegraph pole in 1995 2 miles from my house. cammo net went in the left track, this had the effect of turning the vehicle and then first "through" a telegraph pole (braced for impact, snapped it like match stick) and then into the ditch. I called the police (as there was a broken pole but no damage to the carrier). We then had one crewman controling traffic, one pulling the net out of the track and me in the driving seat backing the carrier out of the ditch. Job done and the police turn up, they did not even get out of there car, told me to throw the broken pole in the ditch and they would take care of the report. never heard a thing since !
