World War II Photograph - WWII Archives great shot..

 

Can't see the Chalk Number properly. Definitely '16' but I'm sure there's a number before the '1'.

the horsa glider pic can be seen here steve, with better info, which should help to I.D it? hopefully, ray.. ... Horsa Photographs | World War II Database

 

Thanks, Ray

I wondered if it might be a US Horsa - which it is. Hiesville is in the US sector.

Interesting database, BTW. Chalk 141 was a 12th Devons glider. So, the load would be a 6 pounder anti-tank gun from the AT Platoon.
