German 50Kg

[Fuzeman]

At long last ive dug my German SC 50 KG from the back of a very cold garage, This bomb was found partially exploded on the site of an old airfield
its slightly unusual as its the SC bomb But with a (28)A fuze
This may have been shown before in which case its old age creeping up again!

Steve,Is it the remains of a Phosphour bomb?? Looks like a Brand C 50 to me?

Interesting to note the plug at the end rather than a lifting eye or remains of a Stabo??

I wonder why they wasted metals on a screw or plug for these?
Surely a small threaded hole wouldnt have caused disturbance in flight?
I suppose even a bakelite plug would have done?? Just a thought!
