A new one to ID.
This is in a 'scrap yard' near Nijmegen in the Netherlands. The bloke said it was a British pod but that was all he new about it.

The plate on it says:

AEROSPATIALE
USINE DE CHATILLON
CADRE LOGIQUE
MATERIAL TYPE 30 43
PLAN NO 914733

The breach block comes from a Leopard 1 apparently.

Assuming the two bits plug into each other, that long-thing form factor reminds me of the various pods that used to get hung under Mirage IIIs.
 
Datalink pod for AS.30 or Martel? Or a AS.30 missile front section, for that matter?
