Hi, I thought you all might like to see a photo of the fragment of German bomb that was donated to us last year, it will be put on public display very soon. It is a fragment of the bomb that fell on Petworth Boys School, tragically killing one of my relatives (George Charles Hunt). The bombing of the school changed the lives of a lot of families in the small village of Petworth in Sussex and will never be forgotten. This fragment is without doubt the most special piece in the entire collection and will stand as a memorial to all those who had their lives taken at such a young age.
One day, I would love to obtain a (defused) 500kg to add to the display this was the size of the bomb that did all this damage, one must never forget what these fascinating objects were designed to do.
If anyone can help with any information as the where-a-bouts of German 500KG Bomb with or without a tail unit, please do get in touch.
