The internal (removeable) stole (bladder) , stores ref. 22c/1182, dated October 1958, is in place, appears to be good and flexible and is still fitted with the correct inflation trigger knob & Kidde CO2 bottle. The cylinder is probably still 'live' and therefore this item is only available within the UK.
