An investigation has been convened to determine the cause of the bomb's release.

Anyone finding the light blue practice bomb with brown tape around the bottom of it should contact police.

Looks like the parcel tape snapped

I find it shocking that they used parcel tape. Everyone knows that only gaffer tape is approved for holding explosives to aircraft.

You gotta blame it on defence cuts ... it's either gaffer tape or a new airplane but not both  :D

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

It was down to the use of WD40, it caused the parcel tape to rot
