I see you show two landing lights. Avro’s drawing shows one (port only). I know PA474 has two these days but wondered whether the second was a later requirement … ?

On the Type 464 …
– landing light: port wing only? single light? did it retract?
– di-pole aerial for the standard beam approach: was it actually fitted to these? contemporary photos suggest not

Thanks Eddie – but what’s the source? I need someone to say “my dad built them” or “I have the Avro drawings” or some such. (And yes – main difference would be engines and related systems, I think).
Also – This might seem an odd question, given the received wisdom – but new information prompts me to ask, were the 464s converted Type IIIs – or Type Is ? Anyone know *definitively* ? (I know that 617’s Grand Slams were Mk I Specials so maybe that causes confusion, but it would be good to nail the issue).
