[QuadList] Quads on a Plane

[Gideon4]

Hi

You are correct, the US navy bought new ones and when colour was introduced
in the UK all the second hand Marconi MkIVs disappeared. The US Navy is
reported as being the worlds largest user of the Marconi MkIV, The result is
that the Marconi MKIV is quite rare in the UK.

As I understand it, a lot of Marconi Mark IV cameras were exported from
the UK for these installations.
