surviving T16s
[postings with pictures/information on surviving T16s split from the thread "Wartime T16 pictures" by moderator]
Hanno; Came across this picture while I was looking for something else. Although it's not a wartime picture of a T16, it's the 7th Cdn Inf Bde Memorial in Eede, Holland. Cheers

JUnkyard T-16
Mr. Tonner,
I don"t suppose this is a recent picture of a T-16 in a local junkyard? Those fenders are still pretty straight! If this vehicle still exists, I need some of the parts off of it! Let me guess; This picture was taken about 20 years ago, and the yard has since been scrapped and is now an apartment complex. Keep on scrounging, Rod Shaver

Like Rod, I'd like to know where & when this picture was taken. But just out of interest, not to scrounge parts - I'll leave that to Rod as he asked first The T16 in your picture had a much easier retirement compared to the T16s I saw in Pounds Yard in 1985, these had tons of heavy scrap steel piled on top of them Regards, Hanno |

The pictures are from Argentina, the junkyard one - no date; the two below: top one 1946-47 and the bottom one 1956, look at the vehicle on the left of this picture. Have another picture from the Argentina Naval Museum to follow. Cheers

Re: T16
Bit of a follow-up regarding T16's in Argentina: In 1946-47 the Argentine government was able to procure hundreds of AFV's (including 302 T.16s, 280 for the Army and 24 for the "Infantería de Marina" (Marines). They carried 1x 7.65 model 1928 Colt water-cooled MG and 1x Madsen 7.65mm model 1927 MG. The Madsen was carried on a spintle mount. These carriers were US (Ford) built carriers, meant for "Lend Lease" and were British surplus stock disposed by the Belgians in Antwerp.
Cheers

T-16"s in Argentina
Hanno,
I heard the weather is great down in Argentina this time of the year! I would love to go down there and find them! Where did you find the picture of the T-16 at Latrune? I was there about 3 years ago but did not see the T-16. I saw several MkII carriers. Talk to you soon, Rod

Re: T16 in Israel

I have to agree with Rod, I've also been to the Israeli Armoured Corps Museum at Latrun and didn't see any T16's. The one in your post, I'm sure, is a No. 3 Mk II, if memory serves me correctly. Quote:
Most of what the Israelis where able to purchase prior to/during and immediately after the War of Independence came from Czech sources and did not include UC's of any type. Hope this answers your question. Examples of Captured Universal and Loyd Carriers in Israeli service: Cheers

1) According to the picture shown below, the French had T16s. 2) The French supplied AFVs to the Egyptians. Who can add 1) and 2) together? Hanno Source: http://www.chars-francais.net/archives/bren-carrier.htm Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 29-07-09 at 01:34. Reason: link repaired |

Virginia Museum T-16
Hanno,
The T-16 pictured at the Virginia Military Museum is owned by Allen Coors, and originally came from the Budge collection. It is one of the few original T-16s i n the country. What I mean is that it was not modified by the Swiss. It has all the original boxes, fuel tanks, gun mounts etc. as used by the British or Canadian Military. Some of the gun mounts in the T-16s were changed by the British when they recieved them. I guess the original factory brackets were not suitable for their purposes. I have never seen a T-16 with all of the original factory installed stowage brackets for the Bren Guns in the rear compartment, or the ones in the drivers compartment for the piat and bren guns. Why did the French paint the spare roadwheel white? Rod Shaver

I wonder if this "full option" version is authentic for the Argentine Army, or if this was artistic license on part of the restorer (like the proverbial .50 cal MG in the back of every other jeep ) Source: A.A.C.V.M. - Exposición "Encuentro Solidario" - Marzo 2002 |
