Anyone know more ?

Couldn't pick up my shopping from Waitrose as police have cordoned off the whole area including the Waitrose car park.

They found a napalm bomb, apparently. How bizarre...

Heard the Army had called in the RAF to help identify it as it was 15ft long apparently. Still, the person who told me this (who lives up the road from it) was waaaaay past Pimms o'clock.

Fell off a plane probably. In past times East Anglia was a hive of USAAF activity.
