Re: UK WW2 Airfield find (Identification)
Hi All,
Thanks for all your help, I'll go with the fire extinguisher suggestion. It does seem quite a small size makes me think it couldn't have been of much use on an Airfield fire. But if it is just the propellant/gas canister then perhaps it was part of a larger more useful extinguisher.
Steve T I'm looking forward with baited breath to your latest Airfield finds thread. I for one get as much pleasure seeing what you unearth and helping to identify them as you do finding them. They're always great threads and the pictures superb, they're one of the main reasons I've been logging onto this site recently. Long may they continue.
All the best.
