The two regular radio aerials (One on the Left side of the Tank body and one on the right) share the tank body aerial stowage tube,
The Command Star aerial which is mounted on the Turret roof is stored in a stowage tube slung across the rear panel on the right of the exhaust shrouds.
It was also often found slung across the left side of the exhaust shrouds,
.What interests me is that the Starting handle and the Jack have been mounted on the opposite side to normal, The picture is not reversed as it shows the escape hatch and the Cupola in their proper place.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
