Hello all,
Does anyone know which aircraft used this type of cartridge? It was found with other also empty ones in a dump near an RNAS base in Cornwall, so guess it may be from a navy aircraft. The cases were black with dirt and originally had a rolled crimp securing a cup shaped disc with a hole approximately 2" / 5cms diameter in it. The crimp and disc were cut off and the cases polished to make a pair of vases, sorry about that, I was not a collector in those days!
Regards, (shamefaced),
navyman.
