It’s understood that a detonation was witnessed off Ryde Sands at first light this morning. Confirmation is being sought. It has now been confirmed that the ordnance was a SC500 bomb, dropped by the Germans during World War II. Due to its size, it was initially feared to be a torpedo. It had been laying in the Solent for over 75 years but has been destroyed by means of a controlled explosion.
