Historical information
Part of a navigator's training was to practice bomb aiming. These bombs detonated a liquid causing a thin spiral of smoke to rise from the impact point. Thousands were dropped near Nhill.
Significance
At the end of WWII thousands of the remains of these bombs were removed for recycling. Very few remain as an example of those used during training.
Physical description
