Site of explosion at R.A.F. Fauld

The largest explosion caused by conventional weapons in either World Wars occurred here in 1944 when the ammunitions dump went up at R.A.F. Fauld near Tutbury in Staffordshire. It left an enormous crater in the ground, caused some loss of life, and could be heard in Birmingham.
