Re: Early Bomb Jettison Unit

Hi Andrew

I'm back in the country now! Thanks for posting this as it's always
nice to find parts like this - I managed to pick on of these up
earlier this year though! I have just placed a big order with AIRSAM
for a load of similar parts - i'll try and post a pic when i get them
though :)
