Spike for Limpet
- Thread starter Barnabé
- Start date
Hi Barnabe
I think the Delay fitted to the Mk I Hemispherical Limpet is either an early MD1 soluble pellet delay, or possibly an item known as a J. Delay which if I recall correctly was an early Acetone Celluloid Delay. Bonnex will no doubt put us right.
Hohlladung mit Haftmagneten pictured is known as a Josephine Limpet, apparently designed for attacking oil filled transformers. (Operation Josephine)
A couple of pictures for you, and I will go and see what else I can find.
Cheers

Switch,
Thanks for yours. The 'early MD1 soluble pellet delay' and the 'J Delay' are one and the same. 'J' being a thoughtful acknowledgement to Jefferis who designed the delay. There are two or three variations of the J Delay. It was redesigned to give better timing consistency by the Cambridge outstation of ISRB and superseded entirely when the AC Delay became available.

Thanks Barnabé,
This book I know. It`s good French book
By the way, does German book talk german indexes like for captured mines? Or only description of mines for partizans?

The German book talking just dropping by the SOE devices to the French resistance so that the Gestapo recognizes these objects on the field
