Unexploded WW2 bomb found in scrapyard has closed Rover Way!!!! Happy now Daily Mail readers, your boys causing rush hour chaos😂😂😂😂👍
I recall a RAF WW2 bomb being found an excavation in the Tiergarten Park in Berlin. The senior police officer who attended was asked by the British construction manager charge of the works how he was going to move it.
The policeman said, "Me move it?? you put it there, you move it!! "
I should imagine that area was a target for the germans , with or without the Daily Mail's help, as RAF Pengam Moors was operational as an airport , wasnt it?
When I was working over the GKN/ASW Tremorfa site, the gipsies were known to use a HIAB to lift steel wire coils from over the fence - each coil weighed 1.5 - 2 tons!
We then moved the stock further away from the perimeter fence, however, they'd send someone in with band cutters (metal snips), cut all 4 bands holding the coil together, so it then became one big mess, and then casually stroll in the steel mill and ask if we wanted their help to dispose of it!
That area was massively hit in WWII. The Steel Works and docks were targetted.
On one night of bombing Cardiff, one Luftwaffe bomber mistook the Irish Sea for the Severn Estuary and bombed Cork City by mistake.
Between 1940 and March 1944 approximately 2,100 bombs fell on Cardiff killing 355 people.
I was aware of that. London, Coventry....
