Re: Flare 1942

Hello,

Pardon me to digress a little bit from the initial topic.

To Archéavion: Perhaps you can give a precise location for your crash; of course, if you are interested to identify it?

To Hans: Could you post a picture of the "treibkartusche" please? It is hard to find info's about that item (I have read about 2cm shell case device).
In fact, I have found on a German fighter crashsite, an aluminium cartridge, looking very similar to a flare cartridge (same width, metal, 'cap fuse') but it is shorter (+/-60mm, not cut by crash) and 'rimless'. No marking upon. Could it be a treibkartusche, or a non-WW2 flare cartridge or... anything else???

Best regards

ClinA-78

PS : sorry problem with Pic attachment
