On British bombs, the bomb designation and tail number are stamped on one of the fins . For instance, for a tail unit No2 Mk1 mounted on a 500lbs GP bomb MkIV, the stamping will be No2.1, G.P. 500-lb. IV
Thanks for the info, it is likely a anti-submarine bomb but the costal command were guarding the convoys in the war from the island
I will check if I can find the stamp on the fins.
Best regards
