I've been thinking about it a little more.

My A Team launched out of the Scullthorpe and Greenham Common AFBs in the 60s and early 70s.
Both were old WWII allied air bases in England.

One of those unmanned aircraft bombs had landed and exploded on or near one of them.

My 1st 6 years in SF, I was an A Team Explosives and Demolition expert.
Back then, I was always interested in anything that could detonate.

On August 13, 1961, work began in earnest on the Berlin Wall.

I arrived there about 27 months later, and went straight to an A Team.

It took me a long time, but I finally got them to tear the wall down :>)
