I watched the explosion on local TV news three times, and despite there being some contraption on the top of it and the lack of reference points to give the explosion a sense of scale, I’m not convinced that it was a heavy bomb.

The detectorist (correct concrete noun?) was ever-so apologetic!

UXB in Yorkshire – army about to blow up dummy?

Hi
I was half-watching the BBC local news (Look East). Was it a red painted “wartime bomb” with black stripes or a black painted one with red stripes?

Saw it quite nicely tonight. No tail, just a fuzzy spot.

It’s moving slowly so no spotting tips other than it is high in the sky:D

Same thing happened to the account of the interception by P/O M J Merrick of 25 Sqn. of a He.111 north of North Weald on 14.09.40. and the salvage operation.

Now that would be a nice page to find again. It began: “He111-H4 No3294 A brief account of it’s….”

I am more scared of the freight train under the channel tunnel:eek:

Because the Chunnel operator ignored safety suggestions suggested by Kent fire brigade? Or?

Last year we had an afternoon in Zeebrugge and all I could think about was that ferry disaster and all the poor people who had drowned.

Unfortunately it was hypothermia that claimed more lives than drowning and only instantaneous rescue would have saved them.

I have the video recording of the documentary about the disaster if there is any specific questions.

Have you tried the City of Norwich Aviation Museum?
