[stengaard]

Hi guys.

I need some help with IDing what they really are - looks like bomb tails.

Length: 1.500 mm. Diameter: ø 435 mm.

30 bolt holes for the front part.

Weight: About 90 kg each.

Threaded side hole: 37 mm.

If more informtion is needed to ID them please let me know.

This is probably the modified tail unit of the Luftwaffe torpedo "Lufttorpedo LT F5" (variant of the low-performance Norwegian Schwartzkopff torpedo).
Perhaps have been used as aerial bombs.

It can be tail of Gleittorpedo LT 950

Thanks - but my computer tells me that this page is dangerous

This brings back memories, anyone who has been on an EOD course knows all about the dreaded (or maybe even fun) daily ID tests...it looks like something, but really its even part of another, or maybe not even ordnance related. This was a great review to keep my mind straight.

Best Regards,

Pete
