Stainless steel exhausts
Col, Stainless steel was a relatively new happening at that time.
You might notice on welds on mk 1 carriers that there is a lot of spatter. This I am told is because the old paper wrapped electodes required high amps to get them started. As a result of the difficulties of trying to weld armour plate, they went to stainless electrodes. My AOP Carrier No1 mk3W is built this way and the "W" in its designation is indicative of this construction method. I know the Aussies had trouble welding their LP2s/2a's but solved it in some other way. May be some one else more au-fait can shed more light on this for you.
