I remember playing the hole in the mid 50s with my pals. A lot of the devices dropped on Glassgow and surrounding areas wern't actually bombs but arial mines when dropped they deployed a parachute to get them onto the ground where they went off. They were designed to cause maximum surface damage to the area rather than penetrate the ground before exploding. Yours aye Igor the demented
