WW2 British RAF 20mm Aircraft Cannon Shell Incendiary INERT (2)

The WW2 British RAF 20mm Aircraft Cannon Shell Incendiary INERT is an original example of the ammunition used by Royal Air Force aircraft during the Second World War. This shell was typically fired from the Hispano-Suiza HS.404 autocannon, a widely used armament on fighter aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane. The shell features a brass or steel casing with a projectile designed to ignite upon impact, intended for use against enemy aircraft and ground targets. This particular item has been rendered completely inert, with all explosive and incendiary components safely removed in accordance with legal requirements. Dimensions approximate those of service rounds used during the period, typically with a 20mm diameter and characteristic markings. It provides a tangible example of wartime aviation ordnance and demonstrates the technological advancements in aerial weaponry during the conflict. This inert shell is suitable for educational, historical, or collecting purposes.
