Revenge of Hermann Goering

Probably the quickest scramble they've ever performed

Air aces the Red Arrows took to the skies this week fearing that they could be blown up by the Luftwaffe.
The nine jets scrambled from their base at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire after Second World War bombs were found there.
Bomb disposal experts rushed to the site to defuse the unexploded devices thought to have been dropped by the Germans around 70 years ago.

As if that's not bad enough, the Kaiser is still getting his licks in almost one hundred years later.

That's tragic

The device was set off as workmen at a building site in Ypres were trying to dig it up.

Why not just leave it and call army bomb disposal?

Sad. Just as easily could have been a present from King George V though.

WWI ordinance is found daily along the Soča (Isonzo) front.

Scavenging is popular along the local populace
I understand a bayonet or helmet, but those idiots bring grenades and shells home

Unexploded world war munitions are very common. I myself once was evacuated from work as an allied WWII bomb was found at a building site nearby. They find something pretty much every day.
