This is another post concerning the notorious Albright and Wilson WW2 artefacts produced by the Oldbury idiots for an anti-tank guerrilla warfare campaign that never transpired<\/p>\n

I have looked extensively at\u00a0the production<\/a>,\u00a0use<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0ultimate abandonment\u00a0<\/a>of these useless but highly dangerous white phosphorus filled half pint milk bottles. Over seven million\u00a0<\/a>of them were produced between 1940-42 at Oldbury and satellite factories , and then dispatched to Home Guard units around the country in\u00a0wooden boxes of 24.<\/a><\/p>\n

All came with clear instructions for use, and some later designs were made to be fired from a gun known as\u00a0the Northover projector<\/a>. Many were used for demonstrations and training, but by 1943 it was clear that they were useless for anything but gathering dust.<\/p>\n

Numerous finds of these were found long after the war and still are being during building developments because fools on the home guard simply buried them. We do know however that the British State and AW conspired to dump these at Rattlechain lagoon under the cover of a “phosphorus waste” legend with the crap produced at Trinity Street.<\/p>\n

This post deals with a one off incident find and is reported by The Hartlepool Northern Daily Mail dated 28th May 1965.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve included the story and the pictures that go with it and a number of observations are apparent that suggest a similar pattern to other stories I have covered about AW bombs being discovered.<\/p>\n
