General Mayhem Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Is it the source of inspiration that gave Ian Fleming the idea of Bond's ejector seat Aston? My mother always said I was a whimsical child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Is it for remotely dumping something like the carpets on a carpet laying funny or the armoured fuel trailer on a crocodile... :dunno: ISTR (but I could be wrong) that the quick release mechanism for a Crocodile trailer was explosive in nature to ENSURE the trailer was ejected before burning ammunition passed into the tank.

Bodge Deep Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Sounds about right doesn't it... although i would suspect that all that'd be left of the trailer it it went up would be the fexible hose coupling dangling like the remains of a popped balloon :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 The plunger is shown fully extended, when it is depressed into the block it becomes latched & is held down halfway in. When the side lever is pressed laterally the plunger is released up with significant force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiketheBike Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Its obviously attached to the vehicle at an angle? For quick exit, forcing rear doors open to let troops out? Or is it a booby trap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
