Crew crash axe and aircraft fire extinguisher bottle made by Kidde Graviner Limited
                  of Slough UK. The extinguisher was fitted near the Merlin engines and would be
                 operated by the flight engineer or pilot. The crash axe would be used to assist the
                  crew in exiting the crashed aircraft, the air frame being of aluminium construction
                         would offer little resistance to well-aimed blows from this crash axe.
