A line of at least 8 bomb craters, each approximately 15m in diameter, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs(p1). They appear to have been dropped on a flight moving westwards from Exeter- the space between each crater increases from 73m between the first two that are visible on the edge of the city, to 147m between the two most westerly craters. They have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
