5. A600 mkI container for 2 cartridges ERU 400 mkI (whatever that is)

These are cartridges that fit into No122 ERU's to eject practice bombs from aircraft CBLS.

Info below:
Carrier Bomb Light Stores (CBLS) was designed for carriage and ejected release of up to four practise stores, and release of four powered rockets from side pannier tubes. The equipment is used on a large number of aircraft including fast jets.

CBLS2000 is an improved version of CBLS 200, continuing the facility for carriage and ejected release of up to four practice stores, but removing the rock launch role. The new equipment conforms to the latest MIL specification requirements for the Eurofighter, Gripen and latest Hawk variants.
The CBLS is a carriage structure including four ERU 122 (EX) Ejector Release Units and their control electronics (Autoselector). Designed for carriage on aircraft wing or fuselage pylons, these units have a variety of different load capabilities based upon a robust and prove design.
To date the CBLS 200/2000 has been chosen for aircraft including:
Tornado
Mirage 2000
F1
Jaguar
MIG 21
Hunter
Harrier
Alphajet
Kirin
Hawk
Canberra
Strikemaster
Further applications are continually emerging for the CBLS 2000 and we are
developing the unit to incorporate state of the art technology required in today's aircraft, ensuring it will continue in service for many years to come.
A 'High Pressure Pneumatic' cartridge (400) can be offered to replace the costly, high maintenance pyrotechnic cartridges that are used for each ejection

I just realised that I havn't posted these yet. From a reenacment event at East Fortune Air Museum.

A kind MOP (and forum member) invited me to his home to view his (very) impressive collection of Ordnance, from .303 SAA to German 88mm and 165mm HESH, about 3000 pieces in total. He gave me for free a whole bunch of stuff including 2 x 40mm Bofors rounds and 3 x 25lber cartridges.
