The British-made 900lb (400kg) bomb was discovered at Bluebell Wood in St
Peter Port on Wednesday.

Hundreds of homes were evacuated and a cordon put in place while the bomb was
removed by Royal Navy and Guernsey Police bomb disposal experts and taken by
road to Fermain Bay.

It was detonated in a controlled explosion just after 20:00 BST.

The operation, which began at first light, disrupted some flights in and out
of the Channel Islands because the 300m (1,000ft) exclusion zone overlapped with
flight paths.

The bomb is thought to be one of those dropped by the Royal Canadian Air
Force in 1944 during the Nazi occupation of the island.

Al largo della costa di
Guernsey è stata fatta brillare una bomba di costruzione inglese risalente alla
seconda guerra mondiale. L’ordigno è stato trovato nel corso di alcuni lavori
nei pressi di St Peter Port mercoledì
della settimana passata. La bomba è stata rimossa dai tecnici della Royal Navy.
Studiosi locali pensano che l’ordigno sia stato sganciato nel 1944 dalla Royal
Canadian Aire Force durante l’occupazione tedesca dell’isola.
