butterfly bomb वाक्य

UK bomb-disposal teams were having continuing problems rendering safe with German Butterfly bombs because no examples had been safely dismantled to learn the best process.
In 1943 a number of people were killed and houses were damaged when butterfly bombs were dropped on the estate during a German air raid on Grimsby.
Again, new approaches were tried; in June 1943 a raid on Grimsby saw the use of " butterfly bombs ", a delayed action anti-personnel device, which resulted in heavy civilian casualties.
On 14 June 1943, an early-morning air raid by the Luftwaffe dropped several 1, 000 kg bombs, 6, 000 incendiary bombs and more than 3, 000 Butterfly Bombs in the Grimsby area.
On the island of Malta in 1981 Paul Gauci, a 41-year-old Maltese man, died after welding a butterfly bomb to a metal pipe and using it as a mallet, thinking it was a harmless can.

Whilst dealing with eight butterfly bombs which had fallen on RAF Harlaxton and failed to explode, Flight Sergeant Hanford of RAF Bomb Disposal ( based at RAF Digby ) noticed that the arming rods on the bombs had not fully unscrewed themselves i . e . the fuzes were not fully armed.
Instead, the standard render safe procedure for any unexploded SD2 butterfly bomb was to evacuate the area for at least 30 minutes ( in case the bomblet was fitted with a type 67 time delay fuze ), then surround it with a ring of sandbags ( to cushion the explosion ) and destroy it " in situ " by detonating a small explosive charge beside it.
The last recorded death from a German butterfly bomb in England occurred on November 27, 1956, over 11 years after the end of the war : Flight Lieutenant Herbert Denning of the RAF was examining an SD2 at the " Upminster bomb cemetery " ( some remote sandpits situated East of RAF Hornchurch, where explosive ordnance disposal experimental and research work took place ) when it detonated.
