Someone's stolen my Bomb Crater!

[Millsman]

Seems mad. I've got a house in France. There is a V1 Launching site on the edge of the village. It was well bombed by the 8th Air Force and launched no V1's. One bomb dropped in my garden and left a crater. It demolished one end of a barn. Over the years the crater filled in but was still nearly 2 feet deep. Our neighbour cuts the grass when we are not there and having some spare earth filled in the crater to make cutting the grass easier. My crater has gone (sob) .... John

That would be the obvious and expected answer.....

No problem , next time EOD find a nice tasty 500 pounder, have them dig it in and set it off in the historic spot ~

Well John, you sound a bit like you fell in a mental black hole right now, about the colour of the hole in your geen lawn

It's a big dilemma. It did make cutting the grass hard. I think I'll leave it. The French have no sense of their own history. A short drive away is the old WW1 airfield of Auxi Le Petit. The farmer who owns it had no idea it was a historic site. In nearby Yvrench most of the people living there have no idea it was the first base for tanks in France. They also have a V1 site in the woods but few of them know its there.

Generous! That would bring the house down. I think the original crater maker was a bit smaller than that.
