Day 158/22. A watering hole - not quite.

A day in the New Forest today, and a piece of wartime history.
In the right background of this shot is a wartime relic. This seemingly unimportant hillock (now overgrown) was a replica German submarine bunker, built by the British Army to try and develop a bomb capable of penetrating the thick concrete walls of the German submarine bunkers.
A few metres beyond (on the western side) of the bunker mound is this large crater, now a pond, which was made by the biggest bomb ever dropped on UK soil – Ten Ton Tess, also called a Grand Slam bomb.
This gigantic 10,000kg bomb was tested on Ashley Range, and the next day was used during a raid on Germany, dropped from a Lancaster bomber.
Today the crater is simply a nice watering hole for the livestock roaming the Forest.
