[BITList] German Bombs

[John Feltham]

 From another List...




Just had a call from my brother you may find interesting.
He still lives in our home city of birth, Gloucester and one of his  
friends has recently done some major construction on Glocester Docks /  
Quays.

As he was doing some deep excavation and pilling work he had to by  
law, apply for a Luftwaffe bomb pattern map on Gloucester. The CD has  
arrived (copy on its way to me) and shows every bomb that fell in  
Glovester, UXB's defused in Gloucester bomb damage and casualties and  
very interestingly every street and area that boms are thought to have  
fallen and never been found and could still be lying waiting for soke  
unfortunate builder!! The CD shows a Norwegian construction company  
JCB that hit a bomb and killed the driver, hence the UK reports needed.

Gloucester wasn't heavily bombed compared to many cities but the CD  
shuld be fascinating. The Brockworth aircraft factories got its fair  
share of bombs including one JU88 that lowered its undercarriage to  
confuse the AA battries before raising them last second and dropping a  
stick right into the factory.

I wounder if you can apply for these surveys without being a  
construction company...you could get one for your area.
