Brad-M Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Can anyone tell me what colour the extinguishers were for the RAF during WWII? Thanks Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDSModeller Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Brad, Aircraft Interior or Engine bay? The Graviner Fire Extinguisher was used in both Interior and Engine bay. This is one on a Mk V/MR5 Sunderland is Brass (apologies for plastic bag in the way) Methyl Bromide was one such extinguishing fire retardant used in these Regards Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I started a similar thread back in 2014: Searching for "fire extinguisher" in this forum brings up this post, along with several others. Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
