Does anyone know what on earth that HUGE bang / explosion sound was this evening approx 7pm? It was massive - nobody in Dover could have possibly missed it?

Evidently an item of unexploded ordenance was found on the western heights, a bomb disposal squad did a controlled explosion on it.

Do you mean a Second World War bomb, Phil ? if so, why have they only just discovered it, was it dug up or something ?

Only presuming that,s what it was, i can,t find anything on any local news.The odd hand grenade is quite often found around the heights, I have found a couple myself over the years. I do believe the explosion was in the moat.

Must have blown a big hole in the Drop Redoubt then.

Surely as German property, it should have been returned. That recent Lancaster here could have dropped it off!
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.
