Wonderful !!
Good thing it did'nt fall through someone's roof.
I remember many years ago when the Theddlethorpe bombing range
was in use two practice bombs fell on Mablethorpe..one through an outhouse 
roof
and the other into dustbin...............the RAF stated "Slight navigatioal 
error........"
(Only about three miles out )   I never did find out if they coughed up for 
a new
roof and dustbin.
