The secret plot to blow up a nuclear bomb in the North Yorkshire Moors

Thank you to everyone that commented I am glad that ATS exists I am also glad that the people on here seem to care and think independently from the mainstream.
Long may it last.

The other end of the country.
Canterbury is in South East England, Wheeldale is North East(ish) England.....about 300 miles away.

I'm about 50 miles or so further north.

oh ok thanks!

well they have somethings they could study.

Between 3,500 and 4,000 tonnes (3,900 and 4,400 tons) of ordnance exploded, mostly high explosives. The explosion crater with a depth of 100 feet (30 m) and 250 yards (230 m) across is still visible just south of Fauld, to the east of Hanbury, Staffordshire. It is now known as the Hanbury Crater.[1][2][3]

A nearby reservoir containing 450,000 cubic metres (16,000,000 cu ft) of water was obliterated in the incident, along with several buildings including a complete farm. Flooding caused by the destruction of the reservoir added to the damage directly caused by the explosion.[4]

The exact death toll is uncertain; it is believed that about 70 people died in the explosion and the resulting flood.[3]

here is more fun reading.
