Slightly off the topic, AR had a folding dinghy with the first Lottie Blossom. When he sold the boat in Nov '52 he lists the extras that he would leave with the boat. Among that list were a folding dinghy, unused, for which he had paid £23.18.0 and a 9ft dinghy that had cost £37.10.0.
I doubt that there was any 'inspiration' for Mac's folder — AR had some fun 'designing' something quite unique, surely?
