Searching For Bombs - Oostvoornse Meer - Oostvoorne - Holland

            Tuesday 15 July 2008 people of the Royal Dutch Army, Airforce and Navy, Police and Fire Brigade were searching for unexploded bombs and a plane from World War 2.

One week earlier an amateur underwater archaeologist was diving for old ship wrecks from the 16th century in the Oostvoornse Meer, when he discovered something that looked like a fire bomb. He called the police, which called the bomb squad of the Royal Dutch Navy.

It is said that a British bomber plane - a Bristol-Blenheim IV - crashed in the lake 4 July 1940 when it wanted to bomb a liitle airport in Oostvoorne. That time the lake was the mouth of the river Meuse to the Northsea. The airport does not exist anymore.

The divers could not find the bombs, nor the plane and came back one day later with sonar. They did not find anyting that time either. The search was stopped.
