The bomb

The helicopter came in and made the smoke bomb safe, the road had been opened earlier with vehicles passing at their own risk! On Thursday a butch landrover and four Navy Bomb Squad men came in, closed the road, and blew it up. The bang was heard in the village three miles away. Apparently it is part of the war-games (sorry, exercises) and shows where the submarine is, and is supposed to sink. The problem is the gas inside is not pleasant, so if any thing suspicious is found on the coast, inform the coastguard and you too can have some hunky guys to sort it out.
The first load of aggregate was due in on Thursday too for the airport, but there was too much swell, so the barge went away again. It must have arrived today as there are tractors and trailers rumbling up and down.

Hi Nic,
When's the airport due to be finished? My friend came out to Coll by helicopter a while back. Not the same helicopter however, as he's not a hunky Navy Bomb Squad guy. He is Armed Response Unit though and they get really cool uniforms!
