Etiennedup Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I came across this (rather bad) image of Seafires on a carrier deck in the Mediterranean Can anybody identify the light coloured objects on the noses of the two planes. Is it simply light reflecting off the exhaust stubs or could it be pale coloured paint? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Covers of some sort is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I second that, they look like covers over the exhaust manifolds maybe to prevent seaspray from getting in the engine compartment. Saltwater and anything does not mix well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Never seem them before but I suspect it's to keep the sea spray out of the exhaust ports. CFF beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
