If you want a good video on Atomic bombs get the DVD called Trinity and Beyond, its awesome and has footage of the atomic cannon in use.

Tarrief thanks very much,also thanks to andrew great video shows its power well.

My grandad was saying they couldent bomb it as they pulled it into an underground bunker/tunnel is this true?

Anzio Annie was kept in a railway tunnel I believe, so it couldn't be bombed and was a problem to locate.

Anzio Annie captured by American forces.
It has an interesting example of a frame construction used probably for masking net.
