A BDU-33 bomb, which weighs 25-pound and produces smoke on impact, caused an 18-inch crater in an asphalt track which is part of an old airfield now owned by Allied Grains. The training bomb landed in an area near Holme on Spalding Moor - six miles south west of Market Weighton in East Yorkshire.
The accident happened at about 1715 GMT on 8 January.
The device was dropped from an RAF Lakenheath F-15 fighter jet. he F-15E Strike Eagle was conducting a routine training mission at the time of the incident.
Thankfully it didn't land on the town. The USAF must take full "responsibility" for their sometimes crass actions. They are the most trigger happy of "allies"!
Sabena and Sobelair - gone but never forgotten.
