Hi I would like to identify when Coastal Command Leigh Light Wellingtons were first operationally fitted with the Mk III low level bombsight. Initially the Wellington was left out of the roll-out of the Mk III. Fitting of the Mk III was successfully trialled in a Leigh Light Wellington in January 1944. What I cannot pin down is the subsequent fitting, if it was actually proceeded with. Anyone with some insight on that please? Thanks, Paul

Attached is an image of the trial combined installation in the Wellington.
