Adrian Barrell Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 There is a nice pic of a Sexton on CDP in the book Market Garden Then and Now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex van de Wetering Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Pierre-Olivier, There are at least a few pictures of Sextons with CDP tracks in Nijmegen 1944;(second one might be the same pic Adrian is referring to?) Alex source: http://www.noviomagus.nl/Oorlog/Pics/Cat5/Oorlogcat5Cat.html Some also displayed in a Flickr album: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Alex is right, in fact both of those pics are in the book. I think it was more common to see US track on Sextons but clearly, CDP was in front line use in Sept 44. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDT16 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 What I find very interesting is the remnants of the fording kit on the rear of the foreground Sexton w/ US tracks. Post #6 of this thread shows more detail pics of such apparatus on our project. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15859&highlight=Sexton Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
