    Post Largest explosion on British soil forgotten.

    BLAST ZONE This is the site of the largest ever explosion in Britain – which destroyed a mile of English countryside and sent a huge mushroom cloud into the sky -

    An accident caused RAF Fauld to go up in smoke killing at least 60.

    AT 11.11am on Monday November 27, 1944, Fauld in Staffordshire became the site of one of the world’s largest non-nuclear explosions.

    The blast was the largest to ever occur in Britain and a massive crater - 100 feet deep and 250 yards wide - was blasted into the unspoiled landscape.
