A Canadian video which, at 2m49s, show a Mark I lifeboat being loaded and dropped on a Canadian Airforce plane, a Hudson (thanks Neville Cole for confirming this). A little misleading (at one point claiming the drogue rocket launches the lifeboat parachute) but interesting.

Hi Nick, just to confirm the carrier aircraft is a Lockheed Hudson. Yes the commentary is a little confusing, the rocket held in the airman’s hands is the one that takes out the drogue which is visible in the oval tube this side of the stem post.
