250 lb T.I. Bomb

[Pascal]

Hello Last year we found this bomb. No fuze and no tail

Because it were a plug at the bottom, we though it was a kind of incendiary bomb.

the lid was nearly open... so, we helped it. And inside, we showed the bomb was in fact a T.I. bomb, in a mint condition. the green means green light. the numbers was de delay before starting, and the red cross mean thses are explosives.

It seems this is this kind of bomb.

How many candles where in the bomb?

Pascal,

Very nice pictures. I never thought I would see one in this condition.

Please can you post a larger image of the drawing.

I cannot see the details.

Thanks,

Will.

I just uploaded a beautiful american doc about the british bombs and fuzes where you can find the 250lb TI.
Is in the moderating queue. Wait, wait, wait,...
It's called "British Bombs and fuzes" from USNBD

Hello will

Unfortunately, I don't have a larger drawing, and as you I can't see details. I only have more pictures of the bomb if you want.

Hello gary.

I have no idea.
Perhaps a malfunction fuze, or a too low level dump ? i don't know.

Thanks Pascal, I didn't know if you could tell if the fuze had partially functioned or not functioned at all.
