They may be fuzed at the nose and tail, or at the nose or tail only if so desired. When shipped, they are plugged at the nose and fitted with a No. 28 or No. 30 tail pistol (without detonators), the pis-tol acting as a tail transit plug.

The type of filling is stencilled around the bomb body, as is the monogram of the filling sta-tion, date of filling, etc. These bombs are supplied fitted with transit bases, and the larger bombs have transit rings in addition.
