Explosion edit

Wasn't there a detonation of explosives in a silo there, probably in the early 1950s? If so,it might be mentioned. Seadowns (talk) 16:37, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I presume you mean the Bedenham pier explosion in 1950? That's now on the DM Gosport page, as it was within the bounds of the modern site. --ERAGON (talk) 17:57, 30 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

explode versus detonate edit

Gunpowder is a low explosive used as a propellant. It does not detonate. explosion and detonation are not synonyms Humphrey Tribble (talk) 08:18, 7 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
