A TEAM of bomb disposal experts have sailed from Harwich to explode a World War Two German mine.

The experts left the coastal town onboard the OSV Relume last night and are today due to blow up the unexploded device, five miles off south east Felixstowe.

It was found at the Greater Gabbard Wind Farm site, which can be seen from Felixstowe’s seafront.
