Deployed from Schofields to Canberra once Down Under in a Mustang with 4 x 11 pnd practice bombs under each wing on light series carriers.

On the landing roll out at Canberra one bomb came adrift, skated along the runway, wore off the safety pin and exploded. The small blast, just audible, was enough to lift the wing a little without doing any damage.

Does anyone know what the chemical was that produced the smoke?
