Nice selection, never did manage to get to Overloon while I worked in the Netherlands. Maybe someday

Worth the trip.
Most of the AVREs had a hard time; part of the consequences of having a large calibre short-range demolition gun :-)

Great pictures
Are you absolutely sure that is an AVRE (despite the caption)? It seems to be armed with a 95mm rather than a 290mm....
Ah, and in some other blurb about Jackal it says it was a Mark V from the HQ troop.
