If you insist Dave, although if you had kept quiet about it no one would have ever known!
(there is only one pedantic bugger who would ever point it out to you....)

Dave has the modified original steel air intake by turning it upside down and fitting an adaptor for the flex. Back in the day this was obviously considered too cheap an option for the FVRDE, so an aluminium casting (part No. FV228852) was supplied with the snorkel kit.
Comparison of pics will show it was money well spent...

(Dave, if you have not seen it, a pic of one of the test Humbers on trial before Aust. Army delivery with kit fitted:

Of course younger more virile Humbers had much longer snorkels for showing off in the Chertsey wading pool.
