Default Model of AOP MkIII

Thanks for the info guys, allways intriquing, and more questions to be asked.
The hoops for the canvass covers on some carriers about to be loaded. I know the Welsh Guards had a version, with a very smart "tailored" canvass cover, IWM has some very nice photo's of this version. Best if I am contacted by pm for more info.

From the info I have, the MkIII had the large opening on the dividing plate, "bulkhead", plated over, and a totally re-designed cooling layout, and the engine cover did not have the air ducts either side.

A close look at my earlier photo of the rear of the AOP MkI, the cable reel holder shown in the lower right hand appears to be a cast item, rather than fabricated.

I enclose some shots of my model of the MkIII, 95% complete.

Thanks.
George.
