Oxford Diecast Bomb Disposal - 1:43 Scale

The Morris Minor 1000 was introduced in 1956 and from this original car all sorts of variations were introduced . These included vans , commercial vehicles ,pick-ups and campers.Bomb disposal became a formalised field during World War I. The swift mass production of munitions led to many manufacturing defects, and a large proportion of shells fired by both sides were found to be "duds". These were hazardous to attacker and defender alike. In response, the British dedicated a section of Royal Engineers to handle the growing problem.

In 1918, the Germans developed a delayed-action fuse that would later develop into more sophisticated weaponry during the 1930s, as Nazi Germany began its secret course of arms development. These tests led to the development of UXBs (unexploded bombs), pioneered by Herbert Ruehlemann of Rheinmetall, and first employed during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-37. Such delayed-action bombs provoked terror because of the uncertainty of time.
