Ludham, Norfolk inert shell
Hi people, whilst working on a house that overlooked Ludham fighter airfield (I know Hurricane’s flew out of there). We found this in the bottle dump. We had the Bomb disposal come up from Colchester. We weren’t allowed to use our phones (purely so we couldn’t inform the local press). We had to stay there with the police until the UXB team arrived. I was told if it turned out to be inert I could keep it. But when they turned up they just said & I quote "oh yeah, it’s a practice shell. We’re taking it for our museum? At the barracks" (bugger:(). Still at least I got some pics. I Spoke to the old boy who lived there during the war & he told me some stuff. But it’s best I don’t divulge that here. Anyway, here’s the pics. Stewy
