Great pictures Tony, thanks for sharing them. It's interesting to note that the depth chart lists British bombs up to and including the 22,000lb "Grand Slam". Perhaps the authors of the booklet were being proactive in case any unexploded 22,000 ponders were found once Germany was occupied?
I've included a picture of a roped off London street with a lantern and UXB sign...one of many seen during the Blitz, I'm sure.


CHIMO! Derek.
