Last monday a Brittish 500 pound GP bomb with a pistol No 17 was found near the airport of schiphol. 1 runway had to be closed down and 180 people where evacuated . On wednesday the fuze was removed by abrasive water cutting. The bomb is destroyed later that day at a other location.

2 years ago a same bomb was found near the same spot as this one. It also had the No17 long delay/anti removal pistol.

As said this is the second time such a bom is found, the one in 2005 was 250 meters away fro the one found last week and was also dealt with by water cutting. Here the No 17 which had a delay off half an hour.

Condemns such a coincidence!!! 2 x the same bomb with the same type of fuze. Chance = 1-1000000000

Perhaps they were dropped in the same `stick` thus explaining the same type fuzing??
