Hello,

I assume a Ww1 British 520lb.

Regards.




Two other pictures with maybe a variant

Does anyone has other details on this 520lb bomb ?

And the variant, (practice ?)

Here're the data. (Click on the pics they will display correctly) The B&W photo with the sailor is a US Navy display vs 1918-1920 of the British pattern bombs used in an antisubmarine role - note the flat ballistic cap on the 230lbs bomb, a typical addition to so many anti-submarine air dropped devices.

Some more, on the same subject

Another pic found on the UXOINFO website

and these from the RNAS bombing school at Eastchurch (Isle of Sheppey, Kent, UK) in the same period
