Re: RAF raid on Germany night 3-4 Oct 1941

Dear friends,

I have one more similar question, after the leaflets air raid on Germany on the night of 23/24 February 1940, the gendarmes found, I quote their report:
"a 15 kg heavy light rocket with a magnesium filling and a white silk parachute with a diameter of 3.5 m.
The following markings are on the wings of the rocket: R.A.L.C. 1936 5.5 "T
The parachute is marked as follows: 11 FEET R1 L 8-36"


Please can you identify what weapon (perhaps a parachute flare) it was?


Thanks, Jan
