Shame the Doodle bug test was "simulated" as the health and safety nerds stopped the full test :9

Er, yes, except that the H & S nerds thought that a full-power test might have blown widows out a couple of miles away, with the conditions as they were. I'd call that a good decision.

In any case, there was no need to use a full test - as was explained, they used less explosives, closer to the buildings, to get a similar effect. If they had used a full charge where they were, the entire test area would have been demolished. Spectacular, but not much use in determining building survivability.

Yep - I'd really think they should have taken the risk with the local residents eardrums . It would have been a HUGE explosion - I wonder what they'll do with the V2! Hope the guys outside the UK have caught up with this excellent series - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/b...guide/series-1. Must-see TV for anyone who has ever piloted a Ju87 or He111...
