Hello Mr Davis,

I have read your response a few times now and have been thinking about what you have said, is the photo of the Museum machine correct so The 1st model Viceroy sold with both style of catcher which makes sense as the Mk1 catcher would not have held up well in use with the weight of a full catch of grass resting on the flap hinge plus a smaller opening of which to empty the grass through.

I understand your note on the documentation and when it was released etc



“I've seen little to confirm the imagery from Victa of a Viceroy with the tank mounted on top of the cowl, behind the starter, which leads me to wonder if this image could be somewhat incorrect, and indeed the later catcher design be what should be shown here.“

I have the following pictures in my files of an example of this model which is believed to be an unused machine











Is this a genuine example or mock up?
