P47 Blast Tube

Just arrived from a river in Normandy a P47 blast tube.

Part numbers are 100% correct.

Just a bit beaten up due to interaction with terra firma.

N.B. confirmed that it is not considered a weapon under current guidelines.

Thanks chaps !

Ian compared to the P51 blast tube you found at Llandow the metal in this P47 is thinner but considerably longer at ca. 36 inches long

Very nice! The Yanks were very free with their stainless steel. Some bits of WW2 aircraft will last for ever.
