Just a word of caution. Finding one bomb strike does mean that you can
"plot" others. The WW2 bombs were dropped as stick, The bomb loads of Henkel's
and Dornier bombers were not the same and bomb loads could be mixed with HE and
incendiary. All would be subject to variables such as wind, altitude and slight
delays in release between bombs.
Sometimes they did fall in "sticks " or en-echelon but often the spread was
random. In Vietnam prior to laser bombs the USAF dropped many tons of bombs with
the intention of destroying a major bridge without much success as the spread of
the free fall devices was large.
The Air Observation Corp records indicate where bombs fell without
detonation. These amazing people sat out in raids recording the strikes. Surely
these records have not been destroyed by our bureaucrats ?
Not all bombs were large many anti-personnel bombs were dropped much in the
way the cluster type bomb is used today to kill civilians, these devices had
flaps/ wings and did not look like the typical idea of a bomb.
The whole area is literally a minefield and need expert assessment to
determine the actual risk.
In Berlin about 10 years ago the problem was ignored and a piling rig hit
an RAF bomb killing many site staff.
In my view I think we must tread carefully.............
