19set and a Mk II

[Stewart Loy]

Darrell,

Good luck with the radio installation on your Carrier. Before you start cutting and welding please note that the diagrams referenced are for a MkI Carrier. The big fold down antennea on the drivers side give it away as one of the earlier variants.

I wish that I had access to my pix at home where Gord Falk was nice enough to send me some scans of his MkII Carrier with 19 set installed. The MkII installation puts the radio gear directly behind the driver on that fold down seat South of the division plate. As there is a shortage of room when the radio sits transversly, the power supply and variometer sit on top of the big box with all of the knobs and switches ( sorry to use that shop talk ).

I have never seen a wartime picture of a MkII Carrier thus equipped. The stowage diagrams that I have for MkII all have the canvas cover over all of the good bits - I bet that made the depictions easier to draw.

I will get those pix from Manitoba as soon as I can ferret them out of the archives.
