September 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A World War Two bomb crater is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs (S1 to S2), centred at TG 5175 0904. The intended target was probably Great Yarmouth, although the bomb could have been dropped opportunistically or even at random prior to an enemy aircraft making its return flight across the North Sea. Recent aerial photographs (for example, (S3)) indicate that the crater has now been levelled.
S. Tremlett (NMP), 1 September 2005.
