More model informationThe Grand Slam bomb was the largest non-nuclear explosive weapon used in World War II. The Grand Slam Bomb was a 22,000 lb earthquake bomb designed by Barnes Wallis to penetrate hardened structures or to deeply penetrate softer earth near structures and bring them down through ‘earthquake’ action.
Only the Lancaster, with significant modifications, could carry this weapon.
The Bomber Command Museum of Canada is the only museum in the world with full size replicas of all three of the specialized weapons created for use with the Lancaster bomber.
