HMS Daedalus - Living on the edge
Today one of my Twitter followers, who just happens to live next to what was HMS Daedalus sent me a link to this blog post. I seems that all the years I spent there I was risking my life for my Queen and country - really! So there were twenty tubes of explosives buried under the runway? Had I known that, I wouldn't have driven along there looking for foxes while on night shift, or practiced driving on ice covered tarmac. There would have been a bit of a mess had they gone up! A little disturbing that 'someone' forgot to mention it or write it down during WW2 so that they could be safely removed when no longer required...... ...watch your step!
