fins

Thanks for the picture. just what the doctor ordered!
Do you know what the square hole is for , just forward of the aft lug? is it a locking bar to secure the fins to the motor ? What colour are the fins / motor painted (1944-45) its difficult to tell from a b&w print.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Hangarman ,
Yes the hole is for a sliding pin/key to lock to motor.
from what i've seen the fins were the same colour as the motors ie.dark green.
cheers Bob.
