To me it is a nose plug from a 250 or 500 pound GP (General Purpose) bomb which would be in keeping with those carried by Fighter Bomber aircraft at 'an airfield near you':)

Thank you for the confirmation and the very informative diagram Peter. You just never know what will turn up next...at an airfield somewhere in Britain:) Now to find a transit base!

Once again, many thanks!

Very nice, and fitted to a variety of RAF aircraft, mainly Merlin-engined types.
AM Stores Code 6A/715 I believe.

All the best,
