Thanks for all the input so far folks, it’s turning into an interesting thread! Although I didn’t mention spent cannon shells and bits of flak etc in my first post, it’s “all good stuff” as they say so please feel free to carry on including it.
The Sabrinas on the Hunter collected the links, the cartridges were ejected headlong out of circular tubes just forward and under the lower lip of the intake. The logic was that the cartridges were heavy enough to fall away cleanly, whereas the links clattered along the belly of the early examples and were occasionally hoovered into the engine.
