The Oklahoma Air National Guard helps apartment dwellers remodel!
It's a case of anything our British friends can do, we can do also!
It wasn't a live munition...but it sure did bust things up!

*"Sleep Well Tonight, Your National Guard is Awake" the motto of a early 60's television advertisement for the National Guard forces.

BDU33 more like 15kg not 22lb. Smoke and Flash.
Not as good as 12 Sqn when they hit the Prussian Queen at Saltfleetby in the 60s. DH in the ladies loo - a true flash in the pan.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

It's not like this is a new thing for residents of the southwestern United States. In 2002 a F-117 Stealth Fighter also had a case of premature "unshackle-ation" which caused considerable damage to a home. The USAF graciously provided them a new roof and bathroom. :D

The boys from Bentwaters bombed the pilot boat as it was going out of Sutton Bridge one day. Some sort of short as they shifted the swithch to "arm" I understand. The channel went just off Holbeach range and a flash smoke came off. Had the driver of the boat been looking elsewhere and not manoevered out of the way it would have been a "shack" too!!
