What are the chances that it starts ticking as the bomb disposal team approace it?!
FUGG THAT!!!:w00t:
They are so common round the East End we don’t even bother with it anymore.
I dug up a Doodlebug in the garden and now use it as a coffee table.
My granddad was an RAF bomb-disposal chap in the war. Apparently, they used to play chicken with time-bomb fuses.
:blink:
I`d let it go off and start rebuilding the East End into something better.
i got within 10ft of it before i decided to go hide behind a wall , a wall in bristol !!
and the bloke who dug it out of the riverbed, once he’d dropped it on the bank, started to bit it with the bucket of the digger to see what it was!!!
its approx 2000kg and is one of the biggest type of bomb dropped on london , the army have already panicked twice when it started to make a funny noise!! they wanted a 1km outer cordon round it which would have shut down east london…
What a nutter!!! :w00t:
:w00t: made isnt it! i used to fish that briver a fair bit, further up tho near hackney, loads of odd bits of metal around on eth banks when teh tides down:w00t:
did anyone see teh explosion on the bbc:w00t: BIG BANG!!:w00t::hehe:
had a mate in R.E. Ordnance Disposal some years back. Mad bu**er loved it. The bigger the better as far as he was concerned.
He had fond memories of the one they dug out, made safe and took to Shrewberryness to dispose of. Reckoned it made the incoming tide go back out again.
Apperently loads of the stuff still around being quietly got rid of by R.E. Every now and then a big thing turns up in somewhere awkward and they are the ones that make the headlines.
There are lots of unexploded WWII bombs scattered around London which were considered too dangerous to defuse when discovered, so they mapped them then built on top of them! One of them is in the grounds of my local hospital (Mayday, Croydon).
