L114A1 grenade

[smle2009]

Thought this grenade I turned up may be of intrest to the grenade fans on site.
Obviously a bursting type,guessing it is used from a tank with multiple flare/smoke ' projectiles' judging by the marks left inside of the can.
Marked GREN VISUAL & INFRA RED L114A1 BCK 08-02 009 R
Any info on this grenade would be appreciated

Cheers

Known as "multi band" smoke screening. designed to defeat the naked eye and also IR ( thermal imaging) search devices. Fired from vehicle mounted launchers. Not sure of the exact filling of this version but similar models have one or more ground burst elements and an air burst element.
