Too bad there was not attention to detail.

In addition, the CMP with the roundel on the roof has the formation and unit signs reversed.

Thanks for setting me straight guys.

I have indeed now oberved CMP's without observer hatches .

What can i say , i like hatches . They are like sunroofs on sports cars .

Except they are available on WW2 ,historic, fun , rare and amazingly durable trucks . Made in Canada were we can't open them because it is bloody too cold 2/3 ' of the year !

Cheers !

Hi All

I've been reading the thread with interest about CMPs with and without observer hatches. In the back of my mind I remember seeing photos of Pat 12&13s in North Africa which showed the no hatch version with rondels. As well as photos of Pat 12 with hatch and rondel in the middle and then one with no hatch and the rondel over the driver. Just took me a while to find them, many of these photos have previously been posted on MLU.

All this goes to show that there were many many interpretations of the instructions for the air recognition symbols.

Cheers Phil
