A secret weapon intended to blast through the Nazis Normandy defences is re-created to mark the 65th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. A replica of the Great Panjandrum, a giant drum powered by rockets and carrying a ton of high explosives, was set off this morning along the beach at Westward Ho! in North Devon, where the original trials took place. The Great Panjandrum was never used in battle because it was judged too unpredictable and too dangerous to its own side. During testing in 1944, the prototype veered wildly off course and careered towards an audience of top brass and VIPs who were forced to flee from their vantage point on a shingle ridge Picture: PICTURE IT NOW
