Six machine guns and a large quantity of ammunition from World War 2 have been discovered in Co. Donegal.
The find was made today during the excavation of a crashed RAF Spitfire aircraft on the Inisowen peninsula – which was buried 30 feet in a bog.
The weapons and a thousand rounds of ammunition were made safe by Army Bomb Disposal Team.
The collection has been moved to secure military location to be fully decommissioned and cleaned before being handed over to the Derry Museum.
