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 £30 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.
