You did Peter 😀

the halifax had one fitted in the port wing
sorry had to beat HP57 for this one

Yes when going over water,think they carry two stored inside.

I would suggest two MS10’s.

The original fit would have floated to surface. The Mossie had a box behind the cockpit which floated on out

is PA474 fitted with a dinghy? I wonder.

Thanks for clearing that up.

This might seem a pointless question, but does anyone know why Lancaster’s have a small red square painted on their wing ?
You can see the square on my Corgi Lanc as shown below and I have looked at my PA747 photos and the red square is also on PA747.

Thanks 🙂

That is the position on the wing where the dinghy is stowed.

Isn’t that where the dinghy was stored?
