Another Whirlwind related request…

I am looking for either a photo/drawing of the Small Bomb Container & the standard 4 lb. magnesium incendiary bombs that it held. I understand it attached to the Mk III Universal bomb carrier, but am not sure as to how the container released the incendiaries…

Hi,

Attaching a photo I have on file of the SBC which must have come from a manual. The middle compartment is filled with 4lb incendiaries which are just hexagonal sticks. I believe the “brace” holding the incendiaries in situ was released electrically, hence releasing the ordnance.

Cheers,

Walter
