|  Xmas in July- 
			
			Santa Claus delivered this to my door recently. It is Xmas in July . Now begins the process of mating this bracket to my 1944  hull . The preceding posts are very useful, thanks Michael R and the other Carrier men . Cheers.

			Here is a nice little albeit incorrect mortar mounted in said bracket . I did not have a MK7 mortar on hand so i used a Spanish 50 mm .

			If i were member of the crew in a Carrier i would much prefer a mortar over the 4* inch smoke discharger. A choice of smoke , parachute flares and  HE . Plus you can aim and range it . You can jump out of the Carrier and bring it with you . I don’t know if it worked but in theory it’s was a good idea .
