Hi all,
On behalf of someone else, I’m wondering if anyone here might happen to have a Signal Discharger unit (as will hopefully be shown in the linked images) for sale, or if anyone knows of someone who does. Bit of a long shot here, but these things are still out there. Any questions at all then post on here, pm me, or e-mail to: [email]ragandtube@yahoo.com.au[/email]
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Clearly these signal dischargers bear a distinct resemblence to the cartridge units as used with the starter in the Chippy. Don’t suppose anyone knows how close a resemblence there is though? While I doubt that this item would have been used for such a purpose, I certainly wouldn’t put it past any English people involved with designing aeroplanes.
If anyone has a photo of a Chippy cartridge unit, maybe they could show it on here (or e-mail to me). Then we might be able to prove or disprove the theory. As an aside, the signal discharger unit that is sought is a Mark I or II; used 1.5 inch flare; and fired a recognition flare from the fuselage of the aircraft.
Ben (aka TEXANTOMCAT), did you get an e-mail from me a while back? Sent one through, just giving a bit of an update on things down here. I know you’ve been busy of late though, so don’t worry if you just haven’t had a chance to reply. Things are incredibly busy down here too, so I know the feeling only too well.
Cheers,
Matt
