The items in the 7th photo (DSC_3888) resemble solid-fuel rockets from flares - perhaps the aluminium casing that surrounded them has corroded away in the salt-air environment...

The items in the 2nd photo (and also in one lower down, same pieces from the other end?) look like rocket line throwers.

I agree with you, brataccas if you're able to give us a rough size of these pieces it would be a good aid to finding out if these pieces are what I think they are
Thanks

.....and they also look very like the relic batteries I dig up every time I go out with my MD ! 'C' cells by the look of it.

PS 2nd photo in the smaller post also looks like battery parts.

Re: weird relics found in ww2 bunker (scotland)
I think you have 2 fire extinguishers here, probably water. Easy thing to do is to see if you have 2 of everything, the first photo and the 20th look like 2 handles from the trigger assembly. I'd bet the little tube things are compressed gas canisters and may fit into the bigger tubes. The 4th pic looks lke the top section of one, I wonder if someone has set fire to them to try and cause them to explode?

Hi the pill box at the end of the track that you drove down was used by the RAF about twentyfive years ago for burning old flares,We used to go and look for the old parachutes as they didnt always burn.They burned Schemulley parachute flares,flare cartridges and aircraft flares.The area was and still is used by the RAF for training.
