Data plate from a Luftwaffe aircraft Firebomb rack
Article about: I got this plate as an unidentified item many years ago. It was taken as a souvenir by a Canadian soldier. It took me a while to discover what it was from. Cheers, Ade.

Re: Data plate from a Luftwaffe aircraft Firebomb rack
Interesting piece, surfing around found: expendable BSK (BombenSchaltKasten) containing 36 pcs maybe 1kg incendiaries.
Wonder if that tag was knocked off the bomb or maybe just found from some office/storage, looks intact.
I did not find the exact Fl 53221 part reference but these may help with something else:

Re: Data plate from a Luftwaffe aircraft Firebomb rack
Hi Boxmike, thanks for the links. They are useful references.
I actually have a 1kg incendary which had gone off and partially burnt which was then extinguished. My Uncle picked it up after an air raid on Nottingham in 1941.
Cheers, Ade.

Sorry Adrian,
forgot the link to original data I found about the thread.

Your uncle ever told about these times and how did he pick up that one?
