GM Otter light recce car

[Neil Ashley]

Firstly can I introduce myself as a new member owning a C15TA and a Canadian Mk1 Mortar Carrier.

Returning to the subject in question, this thread does seem to have ended abruptly without an answer. A Mk11 Otter is described in the manual as being "exactly the same design except the gunner's turret is replaced with a flat top".

Were any actually made and what was the method of covering the turret ring? I assume the vehicles featured in this thread are converted Mk1's.

Finally I understand that Otters were also used as Command Vehicles in the 17th Duke of York's and other Canadian Recce Regiments in NW Europe. They were favoured because they were bigger internaly than the issued Humber Light Recce Car's.
