Done: off to Oxfam with it. We should be eternally grateful for the resources wasted on the A4: it held up a lot of projects that might otherwise have caused more deaths & prolonged the war: £12k per V2 vs £125 per V1.

Done: off to Oxfam with it. Well there's a thing: the pitchblende out of the Congo mine was 65% uranium and the legacy is known even yet as "K-65" since it's the most radioactive processed waste, riddled with decay products to an extent unknown for other sources.

* wiki reckons it's 200 kilometers (120 miles). YMMV.
