Army experts worked to disarm the 2,000lb UXB faced delays after discovering metal used to make the Second World War device was thicker than expected.

On looking a second time I see one lad is holding a sledge hammer,
I like it - none of that stethoscope and electronics counting down and choosing which wire to cut - just hit it hard!

Stethoscopes have been banned by the Health and Safety lot......If the bomb exploded serious damage to the stethoscopes users ears could be experienced. Covering the bomb in day-glow jackets and hardhats is now the approved method of disposal..............and fining the German government £60 for littering.
