Found on a Britse drawing of a WW-2 bomb the stamp M.A.P. A.I.D.. Who knows what this means?


Greetings - Antoon
 
Morn Antoon,
According to Pretz's Dictionary it is probably
Ministry of Aircraft Production Aeronautical Inspection Directorate, or, possibly, Aircraft Intelligence Department.
Depending on other details of the drawing, and what bomb it is.
