1944 built Mk.1* carriers still came with 11 set bases and those aerial brackets. I guess a contract was a contract.

Well they did quit installing the Bren magazine loading tool by then, so it was not a totally non-responsive system.

Rob, I don't understand your post #8. The two bolts at the top are holding a thin piece of flat steel which has a broken edge. I wonder as to its purpose and what it looked like before being broken.

Not sure anything is broken, can you point it out?

Bruce.

In your last photo, at the top of the two bolts, the upper edge of the 90 degree flange that mounts the aerial bracket has a curved top left corner behind the hex nut.

In the photo Lynn posted initially, it appears that same flange is square cut, not rounded...the sharp shadow resulting looks like something was snapped off.
