Horsa gliders were generally towed by obsolete bomber aircraft. They were used for the delivery of infantry and for supplies, artillery and light vehicles.
A 6-pounder gun team used two gliders. One carried the gun and a jeep to tow it, the other carried a jeep and two ammunition trailers. Once the glider was on the ground unloading the gun and the jeep could be a struggle but with a safe landing, a good crew could be ready to move off the Landing Zone in about 20 minutes.
In addition to normal Jeeps, the airborne forces at Arnhem were supplied with special Recce Jeeps, fitted with single or twin Vickers machine guns.
