Next run,the toolbox

Just found this on my FB.Sadly no caption,just 'Halifax dropping a jeep'.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://www.ww2incolor.com/gallery/british-forces/53075/next-runthe-toolbox

Interesting seems this was used in combat on D-Day and Post War with the British involvement in Suez

Quite a selection of equipment was used

Hastings and Lancasters were also used at least in trials
