Apparently it was only a 2 inch mortar!

Do not ever underestimate the power of a nuclear 2" HE mortar :smile:

It looks big for a 2" mortar bomb.

Looks more like one of the Blacker Bombard 29 mm spigot mortar bombs (projectiles) to me.

 

[kiwieod]

looking at the tape measure it looks about 500-700mm long,certainly not a 2'' mortar

Agreed, but doesn't look like a bomb either (as reported in Australian media)
