Cheshiretaurus Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Probably a simple air vent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatboydim Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 It's a pistol port Thank you Dave. Do you know that for a fact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thank you Dave. Do you know that for a fact? No, I was just joking! Sorry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I can believe its just an air vent as the Mk3 and Mk3A don't have any air con for the crew and they have been operating out in hot sandy places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
