Hello

I've found a german bomb tail.
Metal : aluminium (or magnesium).

My question :
Do these differents bombs have the same tail ?

thank you for your answers

Perhaps for a 1000 Kg bomb ...

Please do some measurements, list them here with a picture, i'm sure we can tell you what body fits your fins, well at least have a debate about it, nice find ,,,,, Dave

Hi Dave

i have some pics +mesurements

I have just had a quick look through a book and nothing definate but dimensions look similar to the SD1000 (although there appear similar dimensions on some SD500 types)
I am sure someone will have more detailed info on tail fins than I have, and will be interested to see the final verdict. I think the clue will be in where the holes are located on the fins and number etc.

Just thinking aloud here

regards Kev

With the approx measurements i would say a PC 1000Kg ESAU, that's tail length 32 inch width 19.8 inch........ Dave
