Richie

I can measure the Scout at the weekend but the layout looks to be different. Us early carriers don't have the seperate corners.

Rich, can measure on Sunday. You are talking about the long angle piece behind the drivers and gunners head?.

Yes mate the very same it is riveted to the centre bulkhead and has the kinks in it where it meets the armour squares in the corners.

Cheers, thought for a moment I was going to have to jump in my car and pop down to the Bovington tank museum.

Why would you contemplate that Richard? At Bovy they only have a MK2 experimental and the strange Praying Mantis thing. Ron
