The 17 pounder anti-tank gun

The 17 Pounder was adopted for use with Airborne Forces as the larger Hamilcar Glider became available. A number of 17 Pounders were deployed for Operation Market Garden where they successfully engaged a number of German vehicles. They were towed by converted Morris C8 Trucks, again adapted for Airborne use and Glider transport.
The 17 Pounder remianed in service until replaced by the 120mm WOMBAT Recoilless Gun.
