Happy days. Quite an interesting find there.

I think the site should have a brief description with things like that.

Cheers

should point out, thats not my footage, it is a chap from specsavers, however I thought I would upload to my channel and show it.

Also the chap you see inside the bunker, is Castle Keeper Shaun Marsh from Castle Cornet, the chap driving the digger is Tony Froome, of Bob Froome & Sons.

There was a controlled explosion near Le Mirage at L'Ancresse yesterday afternoon, around 4pm. Does anybody know what they found? Probably another M19 mortar round like last year but I guess there are plenty of other possibilities.

No wonder it was such a big bang, I wonder if it was still viable after all these years? ... and how many more got missed at the end of the war!

I've heard it went off with a bit more of a pop than just the police's explosives would, so yes, it still had something in it. Whether it could have actually detonated without a bit of help though is something else.

I'm wondering if we're going to be treated to a link to Hitler's Island Madness here?
