Re: Danger UXB / Butterfly Bomb

This short film was brought to my attention via the...ahem... wwiireenactment forums. I am not a WW2 reeanactor, but part of me wishes I could be. Anyway, I joined the forum, possibly to live a little through them, and found this in a topic about Danger UXB! So, pursuant to my recent post about that wonderful TV show, here's a MoI Public Information Film about butterfly bomb disposal:

Also, a short film from 1940 about what to do should you encounter an incendiary bomb. I can't remember if I've already posted this, but here it is anyway:

Finally, part of episode two of Danger UXB! There may be full episodes floating around on YouTube, but as far as I can tell they're just bits and pieces.

Danger UXB

Does anyone remember Danger UXB? It was a British series from the '70s following bomb disposal units in Britain during WW2. Although I remember watching it as a kid, I can't remember any specific episodes or storylines. Anyway, I'm trying to find copies of Danger UXB to rent (it's awfully expensive to buy, although I'm sure it would be worth it. Or almost worth it), and in the process have come across some interesting links.

ContaminatedLand.co.uk has a page about where some UXBs are buried, or suspected buried:

Even more interesting is the LCC Bomb (incl. Flying V) Damage Map from '39-'45:

There have been a few related snippets in newspapers (and because I'm prematurely turning into an old lady I cut these things out) over the years that I can't find online, but at any rate here are two news items: UXB removed from IMW at Duxford.

And from the other side, British bombs diffused in Germany.

Well, that's pretty much it. Nothing terribly interesting, but it'll have to satisfy my UXB craving until I can find this series at an affordable price...
