Sorry Dale, I have no actual pictures with fully loaded as you say.
I have taken it apart for various work on the gun, the turret and the gun elevation. You may get an impression from the gallery if you watch out for
turret.
To all other Gentlemen with adjusting problems on the torsion springs
( bars ) for correct hight, I can recomend the twisting of the springs. Fit one end in the vice ( preferable the end in the fixing block ). Then twist the other end as much as needed to receive the correct angle. No problem, the material is spring steel and will perform well. It will take a caution hand to feel and find the elastic limit. Then a bit mor and it will stay in the requested angle. I have done it this way and have precisely same angles for all my axles.
Best regards Roland

I realise this is a little late but this is an enduring subject
Below is a shot of the belly of the Bovington Tiger, showing the positions of the swing arms in relation ot the hull floor.
