Sorry David, I was just being smart
 The plates give access to the electrical that is supplied to the turret as per the very informative 97 drawings I have been lucky to aquire.Hi Chris, as these little tanks had specific names given to them (Wombird and Bowerbat ) oops! no I mean "Wombat" and "Bowerbird" I think I need to keep them as original as I can and paint them as you see there which is Khaki Green No3 All information I have to date is they were the dark green when first brought here and painted with the Aust green after. Great photos by the way!

Fair enough, especially if you have evidence of the original scheme. Doesn't mean i can't hope though...

Not a problem, Colin. The fact you are in such good humour tells me the project is going very well for you.
Has much, if anything, of the electricals from either tank survived for you to work with? Be nice if some did, or Vickers maintained some standardization with other Marks with regards to the electrical system. David

David, unfortunately very little to nothing survived of the electrical system., Again, on Ebay I was lucky to aquire a complete original maintenance book which has wonderful information like the photos shown here. That old saying of never say never' as you just don't know where and when something might just come your way. I have been waiting very patiently for a turret to drop in my lap but I won't hold my breath for one of those. I do have a number of drawings for that part as well.
 Colin.
