Type H Bomb Trolley (22,000Lb)
London, Hangar Five Aircraft & Exhibits
The 22,000lb Grand Slam and the smaller 12,000lb Tallboy were specialist weapons devised by Barnes Wallis. They were designed to penetrate deep into the ground where the explosives created an underground cavern into which the surrounding area, and any nearby structure, collapsed.
The type H bomb trolley allowed for these massive bombs to moved with relative ease while on the ground.
