In our club - 15 Recce - all vehicles have an external stowed modern fire extuingisher. Before the unit takes to the field we do a vehicle saftey brief with our crew and any assigned riders. One item is where the modern extuingisers are for anyone to grab in an emergency. Crew know the stwoage for the internal ones as we are in each other's vehicles often enough.
We also have a medic "crash bag" taken to the field in one of the vehicles and that is also pointed out in the brief. Maybe I should start a thread for a common-sense, practical modern safety brief to hold with reenactment clubs with several vehicles with crew and non-crew riders...... |

Sounds like a good idea. Make sure you include "bail in" and emphasise the dangers of bailing out if a vehicle could roll or be in an accident. With the exception of fire, where bailing out is the first action after alerting all on board. Regards Doug

This is the first one I've seen sold. http://m.g.ebay.co.uk/itm/WWII-Briti...566?nav=SEARCH WOW !!! I ended up making two out of plastic last year from the drawings Marco provided. I can buy a lot of plastic for that much. They turned out real nice.

Got these out of the UK recently, reproduction, but will do the part instead of having a 500 quid extinguisher stolen from your vehicle.
Adrian, I might need a few brackets for the HAC, will check the spares to see, if not I might grab two anyway.

You say 500 quid fire extinguisher? Ebay sale was 619 quid and it was empty at that - ouch! See attached photo for one of the 3 genuine ones I have. Adrian - can I please have some detailed photos of the buckle/retaining clamp device for the extinguisher mount? Regards Doug

I've seen two different styles of tops on these extinguishers, the normal tapered top version and a stepped top as per the attached. Does anyone know what the difference is? Is it just different manufacturers? I've seen both types detailed in the Daimler Armoured Car manuals that I have. I'm looking for the top part off one of these extinguishers (tapered version) if anyone has a spare one going.

As I will be needing two for the Sexton, I am thinking about doing a run of non functioning, reproduction methyl bromide extinguishers. The bottle will be turned from aluminum, and the nozzles will be turned from brass. I will need to do close to 20, as I can only but the aluminum in 20 foot lenghts, and it is $50 per foot. Cost will be around $325 CDN. each. If anyone is interested, let me know.
thanks, Perry |
