Vosper MTB depth charge release mechanism

Recommended Posts

The British war time film "The broad fourteens" is a good source of Vosper reference images. At least one frame shows that the dc release mechanism could apparently be operated from the bridge. Not clear to me , however , where these levers were situated on the starboard panel. Are there other pics/images of these levers ?

For those who don't know the film in question :

Many of the scenes were shot at Weymouth harbour and to my surprise many of the buildings have survived to this day. The club house of the Weymouth sailing club and next to it the life boat station :

This striking round facade is also still there :
