Hello Peter,

Most definitely installed on aircraft. As I recall two of them were mounted on the back of certain Pacific Theatre Mustangs and other aircraft as well.

There was a thread on this a while ago with some great photos but I haven't figured out how to use the search function properly as I get way too many hits.

Thank you!

The thread came from Jack IIRC.
These are something we hope to put on a Mustang in an IWO scheme some day.
