Ju this is one of the 5. I remember cycling around curbridge and spotted 4 on a harvest wagon. I went and asked the farmer if he had anymore. He said I’ve got the remains of 5 Horsas that I bought at the end of the war. He said he’d burnt one wheel the week before and it had gone off like a flare….hardly surprising. You and I and Peter IIRC went to collect the wheels. I was still at school lol! Most were in a garage with a lovely old Vauxhall wyvern. I remember he said you can have the remains of the horsas, got so excited until he handed me a bucket! He’d burnt them and put the steel fittings in a bucket. We also recovered several undercarriage legs. Those were great days. I wish I’d got to keep one of those wheels. So yes, deffo Horsa.
