  • This explanation is a bit fishy. So, you are telling me that a bomber CAN find this tiny arrow and CANNOT find a huge bombing field without this tiny arrow?
  • Actually they did use the bristol channel to practice dropping bombs so it is plausable
  • than why is it still there?
  • Apparently it's made from concrete, not painted, hence why its lasted so long
  • yes, it is made from concrete.
