HI GUYS
I picked this up to day at Chatham docks i purchased it as a incendiary bomb not knowing for sure i cant find it in my references so I it measures at the fin 81 mm 53 around the middle and 45 across the front end it has been fired ? any thoughts much appreciated THANKS STEVE

never seen one like this before, normally incendaries burst on impact, but this looks like its designed to burn through the air, so i,m wondering if its a type of marker flare, possibly to see wind direction prior to bomb release??????

Maybe for a recoilless rifle?

Its the rocket motor from a canadian 3.2 Heller Anti Tank Rocket,in service from the mid 1950s until 1967
