Lancaster barrage balloon cable cutters

The big sticking out of the leading edge of the wing is about 4 to 5 cm. I think I posted a piccie of the whole unit on the site ages ago….if you want a pic let me know.

Thanks for the replies guys. Rocketeer, could you give me some rough dimensions please?

I’ve accumulated quite a lot of “Amendment Lists” covering modifications to the Lanc from 1942 thru to 1947 and deletion of the cutters isn’t listed on any of them.

But they may not be comprehensive, and a mod might have snuck through under the radar.

here is one of S for Sugars

I dont think they were….not sure why they would’ve been. S for Sugar has her full compliment. Made by the Martin Co (of Martine-Baker fame), I have one somewhere…cool item!
