Found on the beach

[fashinmick]

Hi we found this on our local beach,on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis,it is 470mm long and 70mm dia and is of fibreglass construction,most of the paint has worn off but you can still see a reddy brown colour at the fuze end and then greeny blue and then white,can anyone help to ID this,we do have military exercises in and around the islands,so we thought it may have come from a vessel in the area,cheers

What temperature do you usually cook your rounds on, (joking of course).
Cheers,

The Nimrod dropped the Marker Marine through its sonobuoy launcher. Instead of smoke floats the Nimrod was fitted with a Retro Launcher that fired a French made smoke float at aircraft groundspeed. It would fall more or less where the aircraft fired it.

This item was larger in the Dia, therefore it could be a variant of
