A German Second World War bomb has been detonated by military bomb disposal experts in a controlled explosion, after it was discovered at a High Speed 2 (HS2) rail site in Warwickshire. Police had been called to an area of Cubbington Wood, near Leamington Spa, and then handed it over to the British Army’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialists. Speaking to Forces News, HS2 confirmed that the military team identified the munition as a German SC 250 Air-dropped General Purpose High Explosive Bomb and safely carried out the detonation. The contractor added that it is thought this is the largest bomb ever found on an HS2 site to date, at around a metre long and 368mm in diameter. Residents and a nearby school had to be notified, and the site was then secured to carry out the operation.
If you find anything that appears to be an explosive device, do not touch it, leave it where it is and call the police. We will contact the appropriate agencies to properly dispose of the item.
