Banger ??? are we talking Sausage or small cardboard explosive thingie, the chinese type of which was much sort after in my youth (& still now) as opposed to the weak & feeble Standard model. No good in fresh cowpats what so ever.

I’m trying to get back to Blighty, I’ve just caught a couple of rounds in the Starboard outer. Port inner is looking a bit dodgy as well.

Shondell ? are you sure.? we used to do those in the glider.

I was a baby pilot at the time. Any further explaination is welcome.
