What a great 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 heavily chrome-plated, truly beautifully made. The base plate is made of pertinax with a precisely fitting chrome-plated top plate. I suspect this was a beer tap or something similar from an air force officers' mess. I don't know exactly how it worked, but I think that via the back, with 2 pipes or hoses, it entered the rear section and went through the tube to the front section and then through the pipe to the bomb, which contains a mesh filter. It comes out again through the small pipe under the bomb. Age-related scratches; also, the round cylinder was soldered to the pedestal, which is now glued. Why a propeller on the front of the bomb?
The bomb is not fully armed, so it cannot explode in the plane or on the ground while being transported. The propeller rotates as the bomb falls and arms the explosive during the fall.
