    The reason for removal after he died……… metal must be removed before cremation.

    It wasn’t removed before he died because it was lodged in his back near his spine, and the doctors of the day didn’t want to risk removal in case there were complications.

    The metal is heavy and measures approx. 6 X 2 X 0.5 cm.

    Thank you for your interest!

    VH-EOB Devon. It is still in Mackay/Sarina, Qld. Think it now resides on a plinth at Sarina. I Know Emmet O’Brien had plenty of spares in 2012. I don’t know who the owner is tho’ 🙁

    I remember a Hellcat at Lossiemouth in the 1950’s. Supposedly to have been left to the then captain by the Americans. For his personal use. Is this the one ?
