G'day Reg.
Was this once the end of a rotor, small ramjet, or ducted exhaust?

Can you tell us the gross weight of the aircraft/chopper/UFO?

Not an UFO, try another three-letter acronym.

A bit smaller, and for different purpose Mate.

It was to go BANG, Graeme. This one didn't (this individual).

Maybe a fairly large (> 2 tons) Air-to-Surface rocket-powered missile?

Good evening Graeme.

With that weight I would imagine an SSM.

Could this be a V2 Reg ?
