Going through old photos from a trip to Normandy done 5-6 years ago, I came across some of a T-16 in one of the small museums. Its been restored and repainted so maybe this should really be in the Surviving T-16s message thread.

Sign indicates a British T-16 from the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division. Markings at the bottom have FS and July 1944. Not sure if that indicates when it landed, was destroyed or something else. Anyone familiar with French abbreviations like this?

David,

Great pictures! I recognize the museum.....it's the Bayeux memorial before the owner of most of the material removed his belongings after an argument with the museum staff.
