The same position (and similar type) of one particular button on two types I flew was a bit of a worry when doing loads over water......

Load release button on the first type = Floats arming switch on the other. Both were almost identical thumb buttons, under the same type of guard on the cyclic...

Never accidentally inflated the floats myself but I know a man who did....
