Great photo Hanno.
I have never seen a photo of Terrapins in action and there are four in that picture ! Kevin Wheatcroft used to have one (no idea if he still has it) and that is the only one I have ever seen. David

Off-topic Terrapin
Hello David,
Reportedly Terrapins were used extensively during the Battle for the Scheldt. While M29C Weasels proved to be worthless, the bigger amphibians like LVT, DUKW and Terrapin proved to be decisive for the operations. Here's another picture taken in Middelburg during November 1944. You can find more here: https://digitaal.dezb.nl/beeldbank/s...field=terrapin Not sure Mr. Wheatcroft still has the Terrapin, I read he is currently having ten(!) Sherman tanks restored. Hopefully he will (also) spend his resources on a really rare vehicles like the Terrapin ;-) H. 849543af7f9795d7edbd811e3566d1b95453a69c04096b76be613767fccc4986.jpg Source: https://digitaal.dezb.nl/foto/0932ca...c-634b75bf90ec
