Bomb disposal experts cleared away over 3500 items, mostly
10 pound practice bombs, from the beach at Lunan Bay, a local beauty spot, in 1997.
During the last war a bombing range was established here, used by aircraft from
RAF Montrose for level and dive bombing. Later in the war rocket armed Hurricanes
also used the range. Recent coastal erosion had uncovered the site and brought
the bombs to the surface. (MRP copyright).
