Of all the Aussie carriers/ and wrecks I've seen, only the 2000 series V.R. carriers seem to have these mounts.
Do overseas carriers have similar? gunner foot rests? are there any other Aussie carriers with them ?
My first question and post seemed to have wandered off the trail.
If I could get some feedback from overseas, on the use of MG gunner foot rests, or someone with access to an LP1 - to "have a look", VR's idea came from somewhere.
And now we have a photo.
