Default sand channel

Thanks,
What I have so far from my own collection of o's and s's are that the Daimler Dingo MkII onwards had fittings for sand channels, Humber A/Cars had the fittings on the front glacis to hold them, a stowage diagram for a Daimler A/C MkII shows them too. I know a lot of vehicles made at the time were fitted out for desert fighting, with fittings for sun compasses, extra water cans etc etc.

It now seems that two types existed, a solid sheet and a pierced sheet, possibly where I was originally confused with PSP.

So far, the LRDG photographs show the "pierced" type as opposed to the solid.

So was this the only type of channel used in the desert ????

Would the dimensions be the same as the solid sheet type.


I enclose some of the info I have, on the solid type.

Apologies for the quality of some of the stuff.


George.
