Oxford Tracked Carrier

The Oxford Tracked Carrier, officially Carrier, Tracked, CT20, was an early post-war British armoured personnel carrier and artillery tractor. At about six long tons it was much larger than the 3-ton Universal Carrier and the Loyd Carriers it was meant to replace. The driver gained better frontal protection and episcope vision, a double bottom guarded against mines, and side armour covered the upper track run, with dropside panniers for storage along the outer sides. The engine sat at the rear with a Hydramatic transmission, Cletrac-type steering and improved Horstmann suspension. It served in the Korean War as a tractor for the 17 pounder anti-tank gun and as an APC, and examples survive at The Tank Museum and in Pyongyang.
