Where on the fuselage do a Lancaster's antenna wires attach?

Plugging away on my Airfix B.II, I see that the box art shows an antenna from the tip of each fin extending forward to the cockpit area to attach ... somewhere.
Neither the assembly or painting instructions show anything of the sort. Nor do I see antennae on the Lanc photos available on the web.
Most a/c like this one carried long wire antennas at the time. It seems reasonable that the Lanc would have; but did it?
If so, where the hey did they enter the canopy or the fuselage?
TIA

There are attachment points each side on the framing that forms the front edge of the escape hatch. There's probably an illustration in the Lancaster Datafile, but I don't have it to hand at the moment.

Easier to find something on the web when one knows exactly what one's looking for :D
