<p>The Hamilcar was a WW2 transport glider capable of carrying a light tank. They were used during Operation Tonga (Normandy, June 1944), Operation Market Garden (Arnhem, September 1944) and finally in Operation Varsity (Wesel, March 1945). Some remained in use post-war for training.
These remains, believed to be from TK718, were in use as a private garage in Wiltshire before being recovered in 1990 for display. The tank is a Tetrarch (Light Tank MkVII) which were regularly flown in Hamilcars.
On display at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset, UK.
