Excellent info Peter. My RSM in the training school in Wainwright AB used them when he first joined. '56? He had no such stories, more to the point he had almost no stories about them at all. Just that he had used them.

The contract for the 100 round drums Bren from Kalvinator was terminated on October 31, 1943. The reason stated by official sources was the 20mm Polsun took over the roll of a more viable AA gun.

There is a twin Brengun AA mount . On display at the Imperial War Musem at Duxford Airfield Cambridgeshire. The guns are DP Dovetail brens. The mount is fitted with a spider site.
I think for non AA mount Brenguns the theory was to walk the fire on to the attacking aircraft by loading more tracer rounds. The drum mags obscured the iron site on the MK1 Bren.

Have one drum and the adapter to fit it. Can't afford the set, BUT I do have the magazine transit case. A friend got it for me at a gun show, the dealer was selling bayonets out of it! It's just a nice display piece. Two tripods, one with the AA leg and one without. Also a couple of leather cases for Bren mags and the assault jacket that carried Bren magazines.
