Does anyone have some photographs (i've trawled the internet and found a few), especially high resolution ones, of the British 230lb Bomb? Think I may have stumbled across a finless one, although can't tell for certain as, aside from the drawing in the manual I have no decent photos of it with me, and can't measure it up as it's a two man job to lift it - already shifted a 112lb and that was bad enough!

Cheers, Rob
