A FORMER Territorial Army soldier from East Lancashire made his first crown court appearance charged with possessing a bomb-making kit.
Peter Stephen Hill, 23, appeared at Leeds Crown Court charged under the Explosive Substances Act.
It is alleged he had in his possession a number of materials which if combined together could allegedly make an explosive device.
The materials included weed killer, sugar, matches, bearings and a metal hollow tube which were allegedly found at Hill's address in Lambert Street, Skipton.
Hill, who served with the Royal Armoured Corps, will next appear at Leeds Crown Court in February next year for a plea and case management hearing.
He remains on conditional bail. One of the conditions include living at an address in Colne.
Hill is also being investigated for allegedly breaching the Official Secrets Act.
He has been bailed on this matter until later this month.
