Thank you both for the references I will endeavour to find copies. I was hoping to locate a photo of the winch installation to ascertain any design differences with the Type B MkIIb winch.
Thanks once again.

Scotavia,
That photo puts fully into perspective the great time and effort that has been expended in ‘bringing back’ the M.25. Ian Simmons and his team should be roundly applauded for their fantastic work.
Kind regards,
Tim
Would certainly be interested in seeing an update on the Martinet progress.
Kind regards,
