Live Grand Slam on gate at Scampton in 1950s?

I smell an urban myth, but this popped up on my Facebook feed, and I thought the forum might enjoy it…

It has been discussed before , live might be tad over the top , it was still filled with explosives but it was not armed and it sat beside a Tall Boy in similar condition I believe .

Yep thats the story I understood as well.
