AA tank on Juno Beach? Crusader? Centaur?
Hi Guys,
Last night I was reading a book on D-Day and I stumbled upon the well known picture taken at Juno Beach, which shows an LCI Landing craft embarking and Churchill AVRE's on the small beach, some of them allready moved inland over the beach-wall. One of the vehicles on the beach is an AA tank, not the twin Polsten or Oerlikon, but the one armed with a Bofors 40mm on top. I Guess it is a Crusader or Centaur based tank, but I am not able to find any more info on this vehicle. Does anyone have anymore pictures, info, drawings? I would really like to construct a scalemodel of this one. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the picture in better quality, online. So, I hope everyone knows the picture, I mean..... thanks, Alex  source: www.canadagoose.net

Crusader III AA Mk I
If you look at the first page of the tread on the 40mm Bofors you will find a number of pictures of the Crusader III AA Mk.I.

John,
Thanks for your reply. Ofcourse I should have searched the mapleleaf-treads first.... I have read that most of the AA tanks were pulled from the front, because of the allied air superiority. So, it is also hard to find pictures of these vehicles in action. But, I now have some, at least Has anyone got anymore pictures and/or info? Alex
