An unexploded WWII bomb has been discovered at an airport earmarked by Chris Grayling to use as a lorry park in a no-deal Brexit.
Army bomb experts are at the scene along with Kent Police officers as authorities try to bring the device under control.
Under-fire Mr Grayling planned to use Manston Airport, in Kent, as an overflow area to hold lorries in the event Britain crashes out of the EU later this month.
In a trial run in January nearly 100 lorries arrived at the airport in Ramsgate before driving along the A256 towards Dover.
Lorries lined up during a trial at the former Manston Airport site in Kent of a government plan to hold lorries in the event of post-Brexit disruption at the channel ports in January this year. Today, an exploded WWII bomb has been found
The trial, called Operation Brock, was testing out the site as a mass HGV holding bay to ease congestion on roads to Channel ports.
The 20-mile journey takes around half an hour depending on traffic.
Congestion at the Channel ports caused by the reintroduction of customs checks on goods has been one of the most commonly cited negative effects of a no-deal withdrawal from the EU at the end of March.
Also known as Kent International Airport, the site closed in 2014 after owners were unable to find a buyer.
In a statement, Kent Police said: 'Kent Police was called at 10.42am following the discovery of an unexploded wartime device on the site of the former Manston airport.
'Officers are currently in attendance along with explosives experts from the British Army who are continuing to assess the scene.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
