Very nice pictures, I agree with Rob, it is a mortar carrier, One man (one person in modern speak) can wind on a carrier track with the aid of a ratchet strap, I did it yesterday as I have come by two sets of 1944 as new carrier track. Interesting water test on a Mk1, Interesting water test, what does this achieve?, perhaps removes the stowage cosmaline fom the tracks, any ideas?, looks like all the splashing is produced by some sort of brush machine the carrier is backed up too?.

Have you any more pictures?.
