Landing Craft, Tank

LCT 7084 had a crew of 12 men when it carried allied tanks and troops to Normandy during the D-Day landings.

This landing craft is part of the collections of the National Museum of the Royal Navy and is currently on display adjacent to the D-Day museum in Southsea.

Sadly, the location isn't good for photography, so this was the best viewpoint I could find.

A wonderful capture despite the site limitations and a poignant reminder of the day,Keith,

I like the way you have framed the craft and used the bench to add to the foreground!

I cannot imagine it was a comfortable craft especially if sea conditions were not the best,
So many of these were based and some lost at Slapton Sands ( a link you may be interested in) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_Tiger
