  • Early B-47s: These models had an internal JATO system, which included 18 solid-fueled rocket bottles. The bottles were located in three rows of three above the rear landing gear.!!!
  • Thus, shortly after the B-47E was introduced, the internal JATO system was replaced by an external “horse collar” rack equipped with three rows of 11 1,000-pound rockets which could be mounted behind the rear landing gear. After takeoff, the entire rack (with the empty JATO bottles) could be jettisonned.

Is that ULEZ compliant?

Probably.

No because it was made before 2014.
