Operation
Reason for Loss On Easter Monday 10 April 1944, during the preparation for an operation, a major incident occurred in a fusing shed while a 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb was being disarmed. It exploded causing the death of 10 Squadron armourers, three of whom were never found and therefore have no known grave. The force of the explosion also caused damage to some of the Airfield's buildings and even some slight damage in the nearby community.
