Should have gone to spec-savers...

nice one MB with the id ,,i was looking through grenades for it,
JTP although this is a 247 fuze does it still use that as its designated number in RAF stores or is it differently numbered ?,
heres similar document in english language

 

[Madbomber31]

The Fuze is No 859 mk 1 spotter

 

[jayteepee_1999]

Spotter the 247 fuze was used on the No 69 grenade. There was no reference to the No 859 that I know of...

 

[spotter]

??? i know the 247 fuze was used on 69s etc what i was asking was i thought i had seen the 247 fuze before in raf use with a different name

Hi
Yes Spotter
British tail Fuze N 859 & N854 are the same as for grenade 69
There are used on 4 lb Smoke and 100 lb Smoke
the safety cap is different and fitted with a wire safety fork
Used with container aerial bomb
