    And did this have the effect of reclaiming her from the career in which she had started?

    I'm hoping someone will come along with an answer to that one. If nothing can be found then it worked! She looks quite sweet and innocent. The magistrates were fair with the sentencing I feel.

    Sad. Though not right, the poor thing needed a what, a dollar? Empathy people, empathy.

    I was curious about the number of heavy nuts and bolts at its end. I've found this on Wiki; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Slam_(bomb)

    I believe that the explosive used was poured and due to the high speed that the bomb achieved during its descent those exposed nuts not only secured the detonating mechanism but provided solid attachment points to keep the tail surface attached...
  • optimal chicken said:
    chuck2669 Yes I was wondering - that's a lot of nuts to keep a tail on..

    Also one of the Grand Slam bombs was used as a static display at RAF Scampton's Main Gate until about 1958 when upon trying to lift it due to a road widening projectit was discovered to be too heavy for the small crane being used and upon closer examination discovered to be still full of Torpex. It was collected by the British military and detonated at the experimental test range at Shoeburyness and heard over a 10 mile radius. - abbr. from the Australian Armourers Association. www.gunnies.pac.com.au/gallery/grand_slam.htm
