Mark V - louvres
Permalink   

Hi all,

I hope this has not been dicussed before. If it was: sorry, I didn't find it.

I allways wondered why some Mark V had the louvres at the side and others don't. Then the idea crossed my mind that it depends on the point of view at the tank.

Does anyone know why the louvres were only at one side?

Regards
Chris

I think it is because one side sucks and the other side blows. On the side that sucks the crews found they needed to shield it from the mud and debris, so they improvised covers (louvres). There are different 'styles' that you can see in photos, because they are improvised. The side that blows didnt need louvres because it kept itself clear.

That would make sense!

Thanks so far!

Does anyone have evidence on this?
