Hi David

Its nice to be adding paint to these parts. They have been sitting around the shop for too long.

From what I can tell, the Otter never used the brass catcher bag for the Bren. I suspect when it was firing, the casings were bouncing around all over the roof and some coming back down into the hull. These were found on the left side of the hull behind the crew commander's seat. I did find one on the other side behind the driver's seat under the battery disconnect switch. The locations suggest that these casings were simply missed on cleaning out the hull.
