Just a personal opinion but I would have thought that a CO2 extinguisher
would be an acceptable substitute. You can pick up a new 2kg model for about
=A330 on ebay. Weight not ideal but better than nothing I would have
thought.
The problem with all extinguishers is that they are designed to cut off the
oxygen supply to the fire but would also cut off the occupants oxygen
supply. Fact is any extinguisher in the air is going to cause problems.
If there was an engine fire a CO2 extinguisher could be discharged in the
engine bay and would be very effective. In the cockpit is another matter.

Fowarded from Dave Watts:
Halon fire extinguishers can be bought in the UK from Light Aero Spare
www.lasaero.com
They are expensive but are the only suitable extinguisher for use in the
air.
