RAF Bomb parts ?

Ok if ive got this right the detonator is a no56 mk 1 or 2 it should be stamped on the stem the red and white indicate a delay of 0.05 secs.
The kidney plate is an identity plate for bombs and all the info is on there MC 1000lb bomb 1989 dated
safety pins no idea
 
The kidney plate is from a 1000lb Mk. 15 Practice bomb (concrete filled). The Detonator is as Spotter says, a No. 56 Mks 1 or 2, 0.05 secs delay, for use with a Nose or Tail Pistol. The safety pin at the top is from a 28lb Practice Bomb, the safety pin with the red label is from a Martin Baker ejection seat alternative firing handle (the one between the pilot's knees). I don't know what the ring is - there's not enough shown to make a guess. Value? I don't know, but I reckon that it would be pence rather than Pounds - depends how badly someone wants them.

I hope this helps.

Regards

Thanks for the info, Gentlemen.

The only marks I can see on the red/white thingy* are 3 letters which are hard to make out, RMR ? PMP ?

I've been PM'd by 2 people, can you check that you've received the reply PM's and let me know.

*red/white thingy is a technical term used by ARAB's :wink:
