INTRODUCTION

This Training Pamphlet describes some of the objects which may be found on the ground after an air-raid, including certain items which, though not of enemy origin, may be mistaken for hostile weapons, and others which may drop from the air at any time. The descriptions and illustrations will facilitate their recognition. They should be disposed of in accordance with existing instructions. Where an abbreviation is shown in brackets after the name, it should be used in reporting.

Training Pamphlet No. 1: Notes on the Detection and Reporting of Unexploded Missiles " (2nd Edition) indicates the safety precautions to be taken in each case.

Until the harmless nature of any object is established, it should be approached with care and all the precautions laid down should be strictly observed. The public should, in all cases, be prevented from handling objects which are suspected of having been dropped from aircraft.

NOTE:—The information given within is strictly confidential, and must not be divulged to persons other than those responsible for taking action. It must not be reproduced in the Press or in Civil Defence or other magazines.
