I would love to see some evidence of that as there has been a big discussion over the use of LVTs in Normandy during the past few years. H.

Hi Hanno:
I'll contact their regimental historian and ask him to give us a definitive answer with photos if possible. I've never really dug into it in any detail; the SD&G Highlanders are a fine regiment worthy of their hire ![]() ![]() Cheers and UBIQUE! ![]() Mike ![]() ![]()

i have been looking at this for some time now and the carriers were made to swim by putting extra sheilds etc along the top and using seam sealer on the joints and block off the holes in the transom pannel where the prop shaft had gone through....well about 90% of the weight is gone so if you seal the joints with instant gasket and expanding foam she would float. this and some extra flotation barrels strapped on the side jobs a goodun.... If i lived in Canada this would be whipped away by now, i would pay to have this retrieved for the spring time so i could load it into the container with the other carrier.......i need to stop looking at this thread it brings me down.
