It seems there is work going on today to shorten the masts of the Montgomery to stop them falling off into the hull of the ship. If you head a big bang as you fly through the air, you will now know why.
My understanding is they are removing the masts in June so the 40k tons of TNT should blow anytime then.It seems there is work going on today to shorten the masts of the Montgomery to stop them falling off into the hull of the ship.

I always hear conflicting things about that ship. One minute they say that there will be a massive wave that will wipe out half of Essex, and the next they say that all the ammunition is pretty much dead.
Which goes to show I shouldn't listen to BBC East news like I did this morning. The Echo has now confirmed your post so it must be true................mustn't it?My understanding is they are removing the masts in June so the 40k tons of TNT should blow anytime then.

Surely removing the masks makes it less visible so more of a hazard for ships/boats that don't use navigational tools - I'm talking more the hobbyists than the cargo ones.
My mates Cortina would have given it a run for it's money.Some have claimed its the most dangerous wreck in the world.
And BBC East have just reitterrated that it's today. Echo more correct than BBC, who'd have thunk it!Just wait for the explosion I guess!
I don't think it needs to wear a mask now that restrictions have been lifted @OldBlueLadySurely removing the masks makes it less visible so more of a hazard for ships/boats that don't use navigational tools - I'm talking more the hobbyists than the cargo ones.
Places like Leigh are already turning into no go areas and that is without the risk of unexploded ordinance being washed up.The mast will be coming off as they are unstable now, they don’t want them falling into the wreck and breaking up the hull. The biggest risk is when it finally disintegrates and the contents start washing up all over the estuary
Nothing so far and the tide is now coming in so it wont be happening today. I guess you would want a very calm day.Anyone spotted any activity in the estuary today?
