Synopsis

Mrs. Thatcher asked the Commander-in-Chief Fleet, after the first enemy unexploded bomb on-board a British warship in Royal Naval history had been rendered safe, “who is this man and where did we find him.”

Mick Fellows, the successful bomb disposaleer, was an elite Royal Navy Clearance Diver, trained and very experienced in unexploded munitions disposal procedures on land and sub-sea.

Mick conducted this first bomb disposal operation on-board HMS Antrim, whilst at sea under intense enemy aircraft attack, during the Falkland’s campaign in 1982.

A selection of his more exciting operations undertaken Worldwide during his 35 years’ naval service, including the horrendous task of leading the small team to recover the 191 casualties of the Herald of Free Enterprise ferry disaster, are covered with relevant compassion and humour.

After a long fulfilling Royal Naval career Mick achieved the distinction of being the most highly decorated Warrant Officer in the British Military.

In 1990, Mick formed his own company, pioneered, and devoted the next 26 years to the commercial humanitarian unexploded munitions contamination remediation discipline within the UK and numerous post war zones Worldwide.
