Can anyone identify this bomb.

It measures 1570mm in length and 425mm in diameter.

It's believed to be British in origin and contained a chemical fill.

Cheers

Pete

Nice looking bomb. Shame that it is rusting away. I question the holes from the burster tube into the main chamber near the base.
 
Hi Pete,I notice there are two blanked holes one each side of the lug,could these be used for fitting lugs for use in American aircraft as well as British,and the "hefty"lugs at the tail end,could these be for attaching a parachute,just a guess really,
Cheers,
Don,
