An Explosives expert suffered "significant" injuries and burns in an accident at a north-east mine-clearance company yesterday.

John Belchamber, managing director of Aberdeenshire-based Clearway Explosives Services, was said to have been burned and received arm and leg injuries while working with devices on a rural hillside.

Mr Belchamber, who is believed to be in his 60s and lives at Ballogie, Aboyne, was flown by air ambulance helicopter after managing to call for help on his mobile phone.

The former Royal Navy mine clearance diver was working with explosives on land at Aardvark Clear Mine, two miles west of Insch, when the small explosion went off around noon.
