SC250 bomb

The SC 250 (Sprengbombe Cylindrisch 250) was an air-dropped general purpose high-explosive bomb built by Germany during World War II and used extensively during that period. It could be carried by almost all German bomber aircraft, and was used to notable effect by the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka (Sturzkampfflugzeug or dive-bomber). The bomb's weight was about 250 kg, from which its designation was derived. On 23 March 2015, an SC250 was unearthed in a building site in Bermondsey, South London. The bomb was detonated safely in a quarry in Kent two days later.
