| This probably isn't the right place to ask a question about British WW2 Ammunition Dumps, never mind the ones that blew up! However, if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
I recall watching a television news item a few years ago, the article was about a WW2 ammunition dump explosion (I think it was referred to as Britains biggest), I'm sure the story was done to accompany the declassification of official documents about the incident. I am not sure where it was in the UK and would be interested to explore the subject further. |

| The bigest one in WW II was at RAF Fauld, in Staffordshire. You can read about it in "After the Battle" Magazine No. 18 (1997). After the Battle have a web site and back issues can be bought from their. Details about the Largest WW I explosion, at Silvertown, London, is in the same issue. | |
