I got this after a bit of a tip off from another member in here who pointed out that it was being sold as a brolly stand! :tinysmile_cry_t2:.Well,a few quid later and a week in the post,it arrived and this is what i have.
I reckon some sort of Flare container missing its dome,fuze and fuze pocket?
Some nice stencilling on barely readable but there all the same.
My question is how can i restore it,where did the fuzes go(im assuming a 59A in the large hole and a 69d) in the little one?
Im struggling finding this again in the Pawlas manual as my copy is the seperate page version that keeps falling apart. grrrrrr.
Ok boys,over to you.

Cheers Ben,
Its a lot prettier than in the original picture from the seller.
Is it restorable?,say with a false top and an aluminium disc with a 59A sat in?
I got a fuze for it from your good self 2 years ago. :)

That looks like the rascal! Thank you. :)

I wonder what the fuze pocket/holder looked like?,i assume it goes missing when the fuze activates?

Hi
I think it's this Parachute Flare.
Look at the picture.
