It's not that big a bomb... it's only an 8,000 pounder. Anybodt got a picture of the 22,000lb Grand Slam?

Good picture though Jack. I had one of those bomb trailers, and gave it away!

12,000lb HC (High Capacity) bomb.

Basically three 4,000lb HC Cookies bolted together with a tail fin added, same as the 8,000lb HC was two Cookies bolted together.

All the best,
Paul
