Because of this we can compare the differences between the different types, that you guys in Canada are unlikely to see.( We have not had T16s or Windsors)
I note that even in the U.K., a U.K built carrier is fairly rare. (most of the guys in the U.K. on this forum have Canadian built carriers.)

Nigel The manual has amendments dated to April 1945.
We have the dash for a windsor carrier sitting in our shed at the moment. So either we did have at least one windsor here in NZ or someone has brought it in from overseas. I think one of Dad's friends has the exhaust system for a t16 aswell.
