Hello,

I know it's a difficult question but I'm looking for the Mk of this British 500lb MC (WW2 - France)
This bomb is fitted with a specific flat base plate.
The bomb was found in bad condition and I don't know if it's a one suspension lug or three lugs model.
Hexagonal nose plug and tail pistol n37

Regards

Thank you Erik.
Same flat base plate. Great ! But so many Mk in my documentation !! And I don't know if the bomb was fitted with 1 or 3 lugs. At that time I completely forget to search remnants of lugs and now I can't see anything on my pictures ! I was very busy and it was hard enough to clean the base plate.
