Got my computer fixed so I can post scans again ! Anyone know what this is . It's about 15" long . Thanks.

I believe this is an anti-missile countermeasures cartridge used by aircraft.

It could have contained either a flare or chaff.

Another member can probably tell you more about it.

I think this case is for a countermeasure flare manufactured by Chemring, and was used on Tornado and Nimrod.

Is it 375mm long? 15" is close to 375mm. Is it marked CCM?

 

[siegfreid]

Will. It's marked CM if that helps . Thanks for the ID . Mike.

Mike,

Is there another CM on the case aside from the CART CM 55mm designation?

Regards,

Will.

Will . No . There's a WI mark on the other side . Mike.
