Cool. I actually went aboard her in the 1960s. She was a static exhibit then, shortly before she became a nightclub, of all things. A Dunkirk 'little ship' too.

Yes, and now in preservation at Gillingham in Kent. I presume that when she carried out her seven trips to Dunkirk she did so in her N48 guise?

I would like if possible to verify the correct location of the Lewis guns. Current location is just a guess.

The references that I've found so far, list her armament as 1 x 12 pounder gun and
2 x machine guns. No location on the mg's, but placing them on the port and starboard
beam would make sense. 
According to one source, on their first trip to Dunkirk the Medway's machine gunners
shot down one of the Bf-109's that had attacked them.

... what a lovely strange minesweeper ...!

We already have HMS Ryde in the game.
This one will be welcome to keep him company!

Cool, thanks for posting them.

Thanks Papy. That first image gives me exactly what i was looking for. Also confirms the type of MG nicely. I will modify the positions to match the image.
