Blue Danube
The first Blue Danube was delivered to the Royal Air Force in November 1953. The warhead was proof-tested at surface and air-drop trials sites in Maralinga, Australia, by a team of Australian, British and Canadian scientists in late 1956. However it was not suitable for service requirements and was re-engineered.
