Hanno, thanks for filling in the gaps on those carriers. i did not realise there had been a thread on them before. the one that was up on its side still had all the steering linkage etc going by my photos. im sure there must have been something worth saving.

Shaun,

It is good to see these snippets of information appearing on MLU over the years, completing the picture of a specific item. Here's hoping the Brussels Tank Museum indeed saved some of the parts and made a complete photographic record before scrapping them.

It is amazing to find these type of battle relics in situ, although today nearly none remain in densely populated and developing nations.

Here are a two pictures found on the internet somewhere which stir the imagination. Where are they, how did they get there, what is the story behind them, etc., etc. . . .

Hanno

They look like true Rust In Peace shots.
