WW2 RAF Emergency Dinghy Kite

[Flying10uk]

I recently purchased this box kite which was carried with the WW2 RAF multi-man emergency dinghy for hoisting the aerial aloft for the emergency transmitter. It took a fair amount of fiddling around with to get the thing set up correctly. How you were supposed to do it in a rubber dinghy, in rough seas, I've no idea.
