Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Saw this at a gun show in Minnisota guy had 2 but had sold one by the time I got to see all the tables. so I grabbed this up when I got back to his table. I think it might still be live though :-o

from what I can tell you screwed a detonator into the nose and they dropped it from a plane and when it made contact it set of a flare inside and shot the light out the back and it floated.

Another version of the MK 4 without the nose cone also 1942.
Varnished wood body cork lined interior with very heavy metal fins to hold flare or smoke candle (day or night use) out of the water.
