Here is some information about 58 foot lighters. First used to increase range of Felixstowe F2.a flying boats. Later versions had a deck added for planes with wheels.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovil Somerset has a restored lighter with a Sopwith Camel mounted but I have been unable to find any photographs.
