Re: Stirling Fire Extinguisher
Hi Steve
The crew had hand extinguishers by Graviner (certainly for the MKI) but are you referring to the ones in the engine nacelles?
Incidentally, if anyone has a good picture of the label on the front of the extinguisher shown I would be grateful of a copy!

Hi James
have you tried Graviners to see if they have an archive?

Hi John
I did a while ago now when I was drawing up the extinguisher - no reply at all sadly.
Cheers

Re: Stirling Fire Extinguisher
Hi Steve my second post applies to engine fire.
Here is a pic of what I assume are the nacelle extinguishers - don't know what Mk it is, I suspect MKI again. Interestingly there are two and the text only mentions one.
