this is the A13 later type of webbed and spudded track
this is the A13 later type of webbed and spudded track
this shows 3 different types. A13 webbed on the right, boxed on the bottom and 3 links of A9 boxed above. the A9 used a single row of wheels which is evident by the guide horns either side. A13 used pairs of road wheels with the horn between them
ubiquitous carrier track
here's the tank the boxed A13 track came from

sorry it took so long to reply. the larger track is interesting as it looks like a cross between churchill and A9. to be honest i don't know what it's from but i'll try and find out
Somehow, I've missed this before... although I don't know a lot about the older stuff, I definitely appreciate Allied AFV track!
I don't have any examples myself - I do have this rather impressive collection nearby however
The area is now common land but used to be a driver / recovery training area during, & just after, WW2. The wall in the background is part of a winch testing setup on the steep slope off to the right
From previous pictures, I think that is an A13 track in the middle but not sure on the larger (closer / surrounding) set?
Churchill?

Yes, the larger links are Churchill. Looks like there's some Cromwell links chucked in there as well.
