Type E Bomb Trolley
London, Hangar Five Aircraft & Exhibits
The High Capacity (HC) series of bombs ranged in weight from 2,000lbs to 12,000lbs. Their large weight of explosives was contained in a relatively thin casing to maximise blast damage. The 12,000lb HC bomb required this specialist Type E Bomb Trolley to cope with its size and weight.
The 12,000lb HC bomb could only be carried by modified Lancasters with enlarged bomb doors due to its great size.
