No Signals Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Found this online, it is by far the clearest of three photos, so I won't waste time posting the others. Dated 1947 and is in England. My first thought is they were Hellcats but then a quick count of the number of wheeels suggested I could be wrong. Open to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Herbert Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 M10 Achilles 17pdr tank destroyers. The M10 was originally built with a 3" gun but the British up-gunned it with the 17pdr anti tank gun greatly improving its effectiveness. Tractors are Diamond T and the rear trailer is a Rodgers. I can't remember the make of the much heavier front trailer but it is post war a British design for moving Centurions. David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
