MkIII carrier ??
I was intriqued by these photos of a carrier.
The raised engine deck, and revised air inlets would make me think it is a MkIII, but the info I have shows the MkIII has a boxed air outlet mounted on the outside of the rear hull plate.
MkIII were produced as AOP carriers according to my sources, but the front plate has the bulge and hinged cover, instead of the sliding shutter.
The front quarter valances are the same as fitted to a MkIII.
Anyone have more information on this particular carrier.
Thanks.
George.
