Question

Re: Avpin

I don’t know the makeup of the Avpin starter charge but from what I understand it is very unstable. On these threads, many moons ago, there was a post by an individual that said when they transitioned in a Wessex from one point to another where the engines would have to be restarted it was his responsibility to sit in the open doorway in order to dispose of the Avpin charges in case something went wrong.
