Bomb disposal experts may face 'busiest year ever'
Bomb disposal teams expect to deal with even more unexploded World War Two devices in the future.
A Royal Navy bomb disposal team at Devonport in Plymouth, Bravo Diving Unit 1, attended three call-outs to German bombs - two in Plymouth and one in Exmouth - in the first six months of 2026, among a total of 54 incidents and call-outs during that period.
The squadron's commanding officer said an increase in building development work was bound to uncover more wartime ordnance and this could turn out to be one of the team's busiest years ever.
