anti countermining anti submarine bombs

More about the once most secret armament trials of the Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment, RAF Helensburgh. This from the personal notes of the principal armament officer: These bombs were designed to stop countermining, the potential dangerous situation when a bomb would detonate before reaching the correct depth by the pressure pulse from the bomb dropped before it in a stick. These tests were on the live bombing range Lady Isle. Do any members know more about this weapon?
