Hi, I have received a droptank, the old man told me that this piece was drop by a aircraft in WWII. The length is 2 meters. Does anybody know under which type of aircraft this fueltank was hanging ?. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Seeadler

Look for any numbers or lettering on the tank, also, a measurement would be of help, length and diameter of tank. It is hard to get a good idea of scale from the pic

to Denis and CSheppardholedi : thank you very much for your answers. I still hope that members of this Aviation forum can give me the right answer on my question.
Thanks !.
Best Regards,

Here is a droptank off a (actually still on) P-51-C, does have a similar shape, though the hatch and fitting thingies looks a bit different

It looks a little like a P-51 Mustang droptank. There is one in a garden near my house, that the fellow claims that was from a Mosquito. Turns out it is from an early mustang, this tank looks very much like that one.
