At 11.11am on Monday November 27, 1944, the quiet town of Fauld in Staffordshire became the site of one of the world’s largest non-nuclear explosions.
The RAF Fauld explosion, 70 years ago today and the largest to ever occur in the UK, left a crater 400 feet deep and a mile across.
The death toll, while not exactly known, could be as high as 90 – including RAF servicemen, Italian prisoners of war, and neighbouring civilians
