AFAIK
GP : General Purpose bomb TD : Time Delay (¼ second ?) of the fuze SBC : Small Bomb Container (each one with 90 4lb incendiaries) Nickels : Propaganda leaflets, G32 is the reference of the leaflet (G for Germany), depending on the year. |

Re: What is in this bomload?
From the handbook 'British Explosive Ordinance -1946......'
8 x 1000lb Bombs, General Purpose with Time delay fuses of 0,025 seconds. I would go with the Crates(or containers) of 90 x whatever. 90 Incendiaries in a crate was a standard load but not positive if 'Nickel' leaflets could be dropped from crates? Alan |
