The
FAA Model Show at Yeovilton, UK by Jim Baumann
RAF 'Cuckoo' Rescue float, these were moored at regular intervals
on the 'bomber path' between Dover
and Great Yarmouth on the East coast of the UK, to allow downed
airmen a sporting chance of survival.
They contained food, flares , dry clothing and cigarettes. They were
'emptied' on a daily basis by visiting RAF
launches, sometimes the occupants were downed Luftwaffe aircrew!!
