Have to agree with you there VB!

lol...when I first saw this years ago, I was wondering if they took the time to be sure it was inert before joy-riding it!

They typically had enough explosives onboard to crack a bunker or lift a T-34 several feet in the air...that would be more than enough to make sure the GI doesn't have kids in the future!

Great pic.
I believe it was taken at RNAS Stretton, only a few miles from where I live. The M56 Motorway runs right alongside the remains of the airfield, which, until relatively recently, was a Shell research station, and those black hangars (know as Aircraft Sheds in the RN) are still there, as is the building at top right, and can just be seen, behind the banking and trees, from the Motorway.
