Good Morning Shipmates
Help please - could anyone please assist me with the the lighting on a Royal Navy Steam Pinnace as shown in the picture, what I need to know is what would the location have been of the stern light ? Also would the lights at the time been oil fired or would they have been DC electric run off a steam generator - enquiring so the I get the right kind of light for my model.
Thanking you in anticipation of you help

Looks like the Billing's kit - I bought one in Helsinki in 1996, finished the hull and it is still waiting to be finished, currently sitting on a shelf in my modelling room in Oxfordshire.
I wish you success in finding details and constructing the model.
