Hello,

Can anyone help on the details of this british WW2 RCL - Ramped Cargo lighter?

I only now that it was used by yhe Yugoslav partisans (12 crafts), and probably on the war against japanese and after.

Specifications (length, beam, draft, etc,etc, ....) , drawings, photos, would ve very welcome

Two links with the craft:

http://www.iwm.org.uk//collections/item ... /205209718

In this link one photo in yugoslav service, and other two, from remains of the probably last one in existence. (Scrapped in 1995)

The imperial War Museum seems to have a model, but they don't have a photo online.
If anyone has the "Allied Landing Craft of World War Two" , and/or the "ONI-226: Allied Landing Craft and Shipsbook", plase could check if they have some information?

As it looks like a normal "landing craft" maybe someone has already seen a photo or data somewhere.

Many thanks,

G_Mendes
