Air base evacuated after live rocket from Afghanistan arrives in mail
Talk about a surprise package.
A hangar at Wattisham Airfield had to be evacuated in 2008 after workers opened a package sent by military mail and discovered a live 70mm Flechette rocket in a launcher. Engineers in Afghanistan had posted the launcher, used by Apache attack helicopters, back to Britain without noticing the rocket still inside.
