    Sure. But this was more related to the DB-engine team wanting to see it’s products perform on different airframes. And please remember: Every new test kept some from having to serve as frontline troops.

    This way they could compare both airframes. A slight advantage for the Spitfire: Lighter weight with no weapons.

    No bomb expert myself. It was said to be a german made bomb equipped with a soviet “acid” detonator. Explosion happened ahead of the scheduled dearming process when the neighbourhood’s evacuation was still ongoing.

    Still sort of common in Germany to find WW2 bombs these days anywhere. Most are disarmed and recovered safely by those brave gentlemen.
