Hi, my late father was with Graham this day, they'd been doing demonstrations for the Manchester Police, x5 detonation.

They'd done 4 & my father approached Graham at the rear of the Land rover to discuss a lunch break, Graham told him he's nearly done & to make his way back to the shelter, on reaching the shelter there was a explosion.
Inquest found the timer to be faulty.

Weeks before my father passed away, my father told my mother the timer was fine.....
