DEAL Bomb – A four man Royal Navy Bomb Disposal Team from Portsmouth have blown up a large 500lb device (bomb) off Kent’s east coast, which was dropped by enemy aircraft (German World War Two). The device was brought to the surface by a Dredger near the entrance to the port of Dover. It was taken three miles out to sea off Deal and lowered back to the seabed and waited for the safest tidal window when a controlled explosion took place. The local Coastguard put a one mile cordon in place during the operation, but no major shipping movements in the area were affected. Fof our Bomb Disposal Teams the War is not yet over!
