Foolscap size, 320 x 205 mm. printed both sides, stapled. Operation Grapple was Britain’s second series of nuclear bomb tests, the first to test the H-bomb. The first test on 15th May was technically a failure as the yield was well below expectations but still “A flash, stark and blinding, high in the Pacific sky, signalled to the world today Britain’s emergence as a top-ranking power of this nuclear age.” Entirely devoted to the first test which took place on 15th May, 1957. No other copies traced.
