stripeyman Posted 15 October , 2021 Share Posted 15 October , 2021 I found this on ebay the other day. Not seen it before, I cannot make out the number so cannot look up where it came down.

The gas bags are well inside the outer cover, and were, despite legend, rather difficult to set on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
