Can’t find any mention on the BBC, which is curious. 
Did they cover it?  Not that I can see. 
The notion that fireworks would be stored nearby doesn’t wash! 
This is the US’ second largest weapons store in Europe SHAFE – and the largest in Britain.
It’s really most suspicious.

The above video makes it clear that Britain could not stop old fashioned missiles from coming in, let alone Russia’ newer hypersonic varieties like Kalibr.Was a Kalibr used to knock out the Welford Depot?  If so, shouldn’t someone tell Britain that she is once more at war.  The price of meddling in Ukraine.Only yesterday Russia sent a formal letter to the US warning of ‘unpredictable consequences’ if America and Britain carry on taking part in the Ukraine crisis.Britain’s Deputy Sec Of Defence then admitted that the SAS are in Kiev training Ukrainians in how to fire anti-tank missiles, as if to say – well carry on, Mr Putin.  The US reply about assisting Ukraine militarily was ‘guilty as charged’.Putin’s given many warnings.  So here’s some action.  Maybe just like the one that struck the massive bunker in Western Ukraine, the Welford Bunker was penetrated by a hypersonic missile, travelling at Mach 7 so you don’t hear the missile until after impact.Wikipedia – Welford is now under the command of the 420th Munitions Squadron, and comes under the command of the 501st Combat Support Wing, with headquarters at RAF Alconbury, which provides support to the Geographically Separated Units (GSU)s in the United Kingdom.[16]https://tapnewswire.com/2022/03/first-hypersonic-weapon-in-history-deployed-near-polish-border-to-knock-out-huge-underground-weapon-storage-facility/Fireworks storage unit EXPLODES near RAF Welford sending clouds of smoke over M4 – Mirror Online

Firefighters were called to the Westbrook area near RAF Welford in Newbury on Saturday to an incident they said could be caused by fireworks

The M4 was closed in both directions on Saturday as firefighters battled a building fire blaze believed to involve fireworks.

Emergency services were called to the Westbrook area near RAF Welford in Newbury to an incident they said could be caused by pyrotechnics.

Explosions were heard by passersby, who filmed huge plumes of smoke rising above the site.

No injuries had been reported by Saturday evening.

The motorway was reopened at approximately 5.30pm.

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “At 1.41pm on Saturday, 16 April, we received reports of a fire at an industrial building in Westbrook, Newbury.

“Two Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) crews from Newbury, one crew from Theale and two Officers have currently been sent to the scene, together with crews from Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service.

“Firefighters have found a fire involving possible pyrotechnics and fireworks. Cordons are in place, but people are urged to stay away from the area while emergency services deal with this fire.”

Debris landing on the M4 – two miles from the fire.  Some fireworks!!!

In video woman interviewed in Boxford, said she decided to clear off due to a black cloud of smoke heading her way.  Boxford south of the M4 maybe 3 miles from the explosion.  There would definitely not be an industrial unit at that address, and would they allow fireworks even if there was.  This is an MOD cover story for an explosion at the base, my opinion a Russian Mach 7 Khinsal missile the most likely cause, able to penetrate any bunker.

TAP – All the links to this story are being cut.  The story will be erased from memory, another sign that it is a Russian military act.  The video’s not there any more.  Reloading….Russia delivered an ultimatum to US and UK the day before the Welford strike, warning of ‘unintended consequences’ from Britain assisting in war-making in Ukraine.  Both the US and the UK declared an intention to carry on assisting Ukraine’s war.  The US reply was covered in the Washington Post.

    Thanks for bringing this to our notice Tap. Yes it sounds very suspicious, I wonder if the local press said anything about it?

    It made online versions of one or two nationals – forget which – until the D notice was presumably issued, and all disappeared, and the various cover stories were manufactured. I met people who had been diverted off the motorway that day taking hours extra travelling time to get to the west country since then. There have been loads of fires at small production facilities across the country. We were tracking flights squawking that their navigation instruments were failing with flights returning to base. The war is physically a lot closer than people realise. If Starmer OKs use of UK missiles long range against Moscow, we should expect retaliation of many kinds. To our infrastructure, military bases, equipment and so on. The US elections will no doubt be past before any such decision to escalate the war to a global level is taken. Russia need only flatten six key bridges in Britain, and demolish three key railway stations to bring Britain to a grinding halt.
