Result of one of the air raids (27th February / 7th March 1941). CAS tells an anecdote that one of the larger machines, weighing "tons" was ripped off the base plinth and dumped into a bomb crater. Image was with my late father's papers

Bomb damage to one of the machine shops. Another anecdote from CAS was that during one raid, a bomb skittered along the floor and came to rest up against one of the lathes. There was a worry that it might have had a time delay* on the fuse, and the UXB people were very busy. (* It didn't, it had been dropped from too low an altitude and that's why it was a "dud").
