The people of Burton are going soft, it seems theyve forgotten about the the Big Bang that happened on their doorstep in 1944 causing widespread damage, and was heard from Birmingham to Nottingham. The RAF Fauld explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history and the largest to occur on UK soil. The crater is still there and worth a visit, I saw it in 1986. It is HUGE, 250 yards wide! bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2008/08/15/hanbury_crater_feature.shtml en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Fauld_explosion
