Just for comparison here is a shot of the MK1 hippo with open cab, a number were used and lost in France and a few were posted to the Middle East. I believe this photo was taken before the Dunkirk evacuation and i have still to find evidence of them in the UK after this period, i say this rather tongue in cheek because i am not to sure of the actual date in production that the MK2 superceded the MK1, the latter could well have still been in limited production due to the shortage of transport.
