Did one of the early Nimrod courses (1970 ), and depth charges were still on the list of cleared weapons. Saw some loaded on an aircraft we were due to fly, planning to drop them for training. (We had dropped some for training on the Shack course , 1964 ) They were rusty as hell, you could just make out the date of manufacture, 1944, and they were weeping some nasty looking liquid. We said we were not happy with them, they were off loaded, and shortly afterwards they disappeared from the menu.
