Pics are up on their FB page.

I’m sure the one currently being rebuilt in the US by Nelson Ezell will eventually emerge with an R-2800 or R-3350 on the front of it.

Lets hope for an R2800, the only thing right about a 3350 is the name.. & they spelled that wrong..;)

That 2nd on in the first post looks like my BBQ lighter 🙂

Hang an R2800 on it…. 😉

The very pistols require firearms licence if civil, careful cartridge storage and training. Aside from runway caravans on training airfields they are kept ready for use in all RAF towers and are fired from the balcony.With the addition of an insert they are also used to launch bird scaring shellcrackers and that also needs careful use.

Here in the US we just buy them at Walmart in the sporting goods dept. They are sold for use on boats.
Not sure about the “very careful cartridge storage”, I have some sitting in a cardboard box somewhere in the garage…Altho I do store smoke grenades in a flower pot in the back yard 🙂 Training for the use of the flare gun is printed on the packet it came in.

He got a nice pic of Joe’s F7F at Chino 🙂

Aside from the as yet unkown reason for the undercarriage fault, I was impressed with the alert air traffic control at North Weald detailed in the report. They gave several warnings to check gear down.

Perhaps they could add a flare gun & some red flares to their repertoire 😀
