waff
Nail on the head
At the end of the war the UK took more than 70,000 of the chemical bombs for their own use - KC 250s etc. The US and Canada also took large quantities for testing, but this is the first I've seen of attempts to adapt them for use. Not too surprising though, these items were state of the art, very well made and in excellent condition.
First thing that comes in my mind is that this bomb body is SD 250 tel ( telescopic tube for nose fuze switch ). Unfortunately I have no good drawing of such one in my archive, but just a tought.
This is a mystery that iv had for a while and never seen another prehaps some one might know about it,,,,,,, Dave
