I would love to put one of those craters in the middle of a runway and reap the reward in proxies

No question about it.......that photo is edited. The original was probly on taken with the left. Look at the tail and the lighting and shade differences.

Yes, I was joking. I agree, the photo is edited. Remember what I wrote?
"Note that the Grand Slam is quite a bit longer than the Tall Boy, compared to the OP's pic, suggesting there is something odd about the picture."

It is not a Tallboy.  It is an 25,000 lb Samson bomb.

I think the one on the right is the American versions of the Grand Slam? (T-12?)  It has less girth

Can't be British, it's too long.

Skuzzy is my mother.  I begged and cried and stamped my feet and she relented.

There is something odd about that picture.

The bomb on the right is lit from the right side, and the rest of the photo is lit from the left side.

Now, that would explain the size then.

yes the Lancaster carried the 12k tallboy, and the 24k Grand slam...
Both were used during the war...
There wouldn't be a real "Bang", just an incredible shaking, enough to shake your teeth out!!!! At least thats what they were designed to do....
Have you seen the video of the tallboys that were dropped on the Tirpitz, incredible video... One of the tallboys went right thru the battleship, and exploded deep in th bottom of the fjord, blew the ships seams out... Tirpitz go blub blub blub!!!

And yes the 800cm railgun was used during WW2... I'm not sure which one, I think it was "Dora", was used during the seige of Sevastapol....
There is video of that as well, arial movies taken from a fieseler storch...
Impressive movie... Shell impacts, on the city... WOW, easy 300ft blasts...
And monster craters...

Then there is Vid of tallboys dropped on Uboat pens in Bremen....
Along with damage vids of the 24ft thick roofs.... Geez, I've never seen so much rebar in my life in that concrete...

This might interest:It's a very well put together History Channel doc about sinking the Tirpitz.
You can watch the whole thing at youtube, but below is a link to the more significant parts. Worth a watch.
