Welcome to the website of the
Welcome to a site dedicated to the Veterans & present serving members of RAF Bomb Disposal who kept our Airfields operational during World War II and later helped make Europe safe by disposing of tons of bombs and ammunition left behind by the German and Allied Forces. The currently serving personnel are at this time dealing with unexploded ammunition and explosives in Afghanistan, the Gulf and the former Yugoslavia
Very little has been written about these men so have a look around the site and learn a bit about the type of person who would quite happily sit on top of 1000lb of high explosives as part of his day's work. This site contains a lot of graphics so nearly all the pictures are thumbnailed to facilitate faster download speeds but if the page is slow please be patient. All the thumbnails are outlined so if you wish to see a larger image just click on the picture.
The men whose story is told here do not wish to be called heroes although many are. Their memory should not be forgotten. The men of the Bomb Disposal Units hold a reunion each year. If you require more information, please contact the Webmaster using the link below.
