surviving T16s

[horsa]

That carrier was build shortly after Mark's that never left the USA and still has the early U.S. production features seen in the manuals. Stuff like the angled mount for a Boys A/T rifle in the front windows instead of the later block of wood bolted in place. And it still has the original pattern gun mounts welded to the inner hull walls that could hold a rifle or a Thompson SMG. Almost every carrier had these removed and replaced with the pair located in slightly different places for holding a rifle or a Bren. If you ever wondered what the curved weld marks were on the hull under the paint, this was it. It also retains the early large rear internal locker and never had wading skirts added to the sides.

Note it has a British TD number so these must have been provided by the War Department and stenciled onto the hulls as they came off the production line in the U.S.A.

Mark sold this carrier last year and Brennon here in Texas owns it now.
