Air Force Officers Mess Bomb Beer Tap Heavy Chrome Plated

What a wonderful old item, handmade and therefore unique.
The front of the rocket can be unscrewed as can the mixing section at the bottom.
Very heavy and also heavily chromed, truly beautifully made. The base plate is made of Pertinax with a precisely fitting chromed top plate.
I suspect this was a beer tap or something from an air force officers' mess.
I don't know exactly how it worked, but I think it entered the rear section through two pipes or hoses, then went through the tube to the front section, and then through the pipe to the bomb, which has a mesh filter. It exits through the pipe under the bomb.
Age-related scratches, also the round cylinder was soldered to the base which has now been glued.
Why a propeller on the front of the bomb?
The bomb is not fully armed, so it cannot explode on the plane or on the ground while being transported.
The propeller turns as the bomb falls, arming the explosive as it falls.
