Hello,
Can anyone help on the details of this british WW2 RCL - Ramped Cargo lighter?
I only now that it was used by yhe Yugoslav partisans (12 crafts), and probably on the war against japanese and after.
Specifications (length, beam, draft, etc,etc, ....) , drawings, photos, would ve very welcome
Two links with the craft:

In this link one photo in yugoslav service, and other two, from remains of the probably last one in existence. (Scrapped in 1995)

The imperial War Museum seems to have a model, but they don't have a photo online.
If anyone has the "Allied Landing Craft of World War Two" , and/or the "ONI-226: Allied Landing Craft and Shipsbook", plase could check if they have some information?
As it looks like a normal "landing craft" maybe someone has already seen a photo or data somewhere.
Many thanks,
