Tiger1 Z85 demolition charge in a lake
No flowers please the Tiger has been been recovered to the workshop and will be rebuilt, I just can't find the off side hull as yet it may be in 2mtrs of water.
That charge is as loud as it sounds to, the lake is 1/2 k from the house and it shook the windows!

These particular charges are very powerful they are the equivalant of half a stick of PE4 but are a lot safer as with PE it's the stones ect that are picked up and thrown that are the biggest hazards
