Kind of "then and now" photo. Carrier T340185 and her crew in Western Bohemia in 1945 and 2020.

Thanks a lot for your kind words
Another interesting history touch - in this Czech village (Mysliv) there were in summer 1945 located carriers from 1st platoon motorized infantry battalion CIABG.
In one stone wall there is still a track section mounted - we took opportunity to take couple of pictures there.

Petr, can you do a close up photo of your ID plate, next time you are out with your camera, please?

Why do you think the track section was put in the wall?

Great "Then and Now" pictures Petr. The track in the wall is a nice touch.

Is there any other carrier owner other than the (also) superb ‘Scout Carrier’ who has a then and now carrier restoration?
