Any idea what type of aircraft bomb this might be. Its around 4 1/2 -5' long. is hollow and has a slot to make it into a money box. I guessed at a mk80 series but its outside my field...
Many thanks
Cheers

Is the body sheat metal? Looks like the front part is attached with screwes.
Can You please post the pictures of the fuze wells?

not a positive id but has a look of the 8 inch recce flare minus the middle section as shown in the post http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/96581-Unknown-bomb-tail

I did wonder about the 8" Reccy flare. It was seeing that picture that prompted me to post.

Hi Bob,
It has no fuze wells. It looks like the nose and tail section of a 8" Reconnaissance flare, as pointed out by Spotter, so the center section is missing.
