    Parachute

    Who can identify the green item with the parachute?

    The picture is from someone else, so I have no extra info.

    As far as I can see is painted on the green cylinder No. 14-H T, or No. 14-II T.

    The text underneath that is ending on 46.

    MB,

    You hit the jackpot.

    It is the British No. 14 parachute housing of the US 20 lb. Fragmentation Bomb (Modified).
