Hi Paul i thought that but on closer inspection it is there by the packing straps , standing next to the Hermann we presented to the Royal engineers museum , the fins look out of proportion

Hi Lee
That Hermann came from a disbanded TA regiment Royal Engineers (bomb disposal) and was refurbished by RE workshops , and presented to the museum on the 50th aniversary of the formation of Bomb disposal, its complete with a rather nice (28) series fuze.
