Bomb Squad Detonate Mortar
It was taken to Glen Wyllin for detonation
The Ministry of Defence’s Bomb Disposal Squad has dealt with the mortar that was found in Sartfell Plantation.
It isn’t clear how the WWII mortar found its way into the planation.
Peel Coastguard, which assisted with the disposal, said: ‘It was decided the safest option was to detonate the ordinance on Glen Wyllin beach whilst the tide was out, we set up an exclusion zone on the beach and the Bomb Squad set their charges and blew up the mortar round.’
