I meant these binoculars, not these ones: Out of jokes: the two beacons are still in wings format, but you can start adding coordinates for them and for the Tourelle du Chat (48°01'26"N 4°48'51"W), both in our mis and Locations.cfg files |

Not in Locations.cfg, because they are very small and local marks, and they should be visible on the navmap only when at visual range.

Me too
For a start, what do we know about French light vessels active during the 40's? Information on the French Wikipedia article on the topic is quite meagre... |

Information on the Dick light vessel is a bit confusing:
Summing up, we can conclude that: there were two sister or nearly-sister light ships with almost identical names, both built the same year, one of them being stationed in the Calais/Dunkerque area and being sunk in May 1940, the other dispatched off cap de la Hève until the sinking of her sister, when she was withdrawn from service and sheltered in La Pallice until the end of the conflict, at which point she was restaured/modernized, renamed Havre, and re-stationed to Le Havre. This conclusion would assume several coincidences (too many to be likely). Those might explain the many contradictions between the various sources (they might have mixed up the histories of the two vessels)... An alternative, and more realistic, explaination is that the Dick and the Dyck/Havre III are actually the same vessel, commissioned in 1935, registered in Calais, stationed off Dunkerque during the first part of the conflict, sunk in 1940 and salvaged/restored in 1945. What is curious, is that none of the sources mentioned above seems to be aware of this salvaging that might provide the trait d'union between the Dyck and the Havre III |
