I think that tall tracked vehicle is a 'Buffalo' The paddles on the tracks propels it through the water. Handy for beach landings on Pacific islands. See you tomorrow you Globe trotter you. Ron

Thanks Sven We were told they are classed as safety shoes in the work place, they might be ok if something fell on your foot but you break your neck walking in them. I padded mine with some more socks inside and they stayed on my feet ok. Notice we only went out at night wearing them
What a great bunch of blokes (and women), we were really well looked after and had a great time.

Yes Ron, it's a Buffalo. Used by the British, Canadian and Polish to get across the Scheldt river to attack the Germans in 1944. I climbed up a ladder to look inside.

The Universal carrier is a flame thrower, you can just see in the back on this picture. One hit on this and I think it would blow up

And the Universal Carrier looks like a MK1 fully equipped 'Ronson' flame thrower. It also looks like its had extra front armour attached. I wouldn't mind some pictures of that if you've got some. Ron
