Another view of the Blue Danube replica – Britain's first nuclear free-fall bomb. The inscription on the slate tablet reads 'BLUE DANUBE BRITAIN'S FIRST NUCLEAR DETERRENT 1953 – 1962'. This was subsequently succeeded by the smaller RED BEARD weapon and these free-fall weapons eventually became obsolete and were superseded by more advanced designs. Fortunately for all of us the Cold War never became a hot one. Time taken not available.
