Cycling just outside Spey Bay and spotted this. I'm assuming it must have come from one of the multitude of airfields that used to be in the area.
No rocket motor, propellor or exhaust so I am assuming a bomb...?

Looks like a Tornado Hindenberger Fuel Tank to me…

Looks like a (fuel) drop tank to me - quite possibly from a Tornado:

Edit: as above! 😂

That would be very plausible being only a few miles from Lossiemouth...

Yep, looks like the drop tank from an old tonka, remember somewhere nearby someone has an old Bloodhound in their garden, that looks pretty cool, can't remember where it is though, think somerset somewhere.

Yep, Wells Reclamation Yard has one. Have a Google - bonus points if it's you riding past on Streetview!

Are they remaking the Search for Spock and that is what they send him into space in? Sort of like the design that suddenly had roof boxes redesigned after the Wrath of Khan...(aware there isn't a connection between the prop and the roof box redesign, but they did look very similar).

That was, if I'm not mistaken, a Thule roof box
