Now that we are on the subject : Did the Canadians in Sicily for example use the Flimsy with their Carriers ?

How about NWE ?

Just my thoughts Robert. But we couldn't wait to replace the 'Flimsy' once we had acquired the better idea and the Jerry Can was heavily in production from 1942. I'm sure the Canadians would have been suitably equipped in mid 43.

Agreed Ron.

By '43 jerry cans would of been common in Sicily and later in Italy.

Cheers. Robert
