Think I've got this - but I need to understand why!

6d Explode shell first in Lancaster (5)
?U?S?

I'm kind of assuming this might be BURST for explode. But why, oh why, oh why?

Thanks Malone! I'm far too young to remember Burt Lancaster (that's a huge fib!)
Brilliant clue as well

LesleyD, glad I could help. I think my mother (or maybe my grandmother) mentioned BL - all I know is his name!
