They are on the bottom of the fuselage, on the centreline just behind the wing trailing edge. You can see them on this drawing.

Lights? If so, what colours, please?

They are for identification lights; green, red and orange I think

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Thanks, Iggie. Obvious now you've told me!

Like traffic light colours. Red nearest the front?
