Simon Pilgrim, 41, was found not guilty of six charges relating to having explosives and terrorist documents
The court heard he told officers: "There's an ottoman in my room. Inside it is a shoe box and inside that are small bangers. They just make noise."
In total, there was about 307g of home-made explosives and the chemical precursors to make about 824g more, the court was told. Mr Pilgrim denied wrongdoing, telling police after his arrest that he was planning to start a pyrotechnics firm.

“My labour only lasted 10 minutes!”Laura Paine, 37, an HR manager, lives in Derby, with husband Steve and daughters Ruby, 22 months, and Cara, four weeks. My second pregnancy was proving to be very different from my first. I had mild pre-eclampsia so was being monitored, and 10 days before I was due, I spent the day in hospital having my blood pressure and the baby’s activity checked. I had wanted to give birth at home in a birthing pool, with Steve and my sister Debbie, a midwife, with me, but after my check-up I began to accept this might not be possible, as the consultant said my body wasn’t ready for the baby to be born yet. I was sent home, but told induction was looking likely. That night I started to feel a slight tightening across my bump, which I just assumed was Braxton Hicks as I still had a week and a half to go. I felt more tightening sensations the next day, and I was so tired I had a long sleep that afternoon. Steve went to watch our local team, Derby, in the football play-off.

I still didn’t believe I was in labour. The sensations weren’t painful, they were more like period pains and I could talk through them, so I just assumed it was my body starting to get ready for the birth. I felt happy, as I thought I still might go into labour spontaneously without any medical intervention, which was what I really wanted. I told Steve to get himself some dinner, and once I’d climbed out of the bath and put my underwear on I suddenly felt a much stronger contraction. ‘You need to come upstairs and help me, I think this might be real,’ I called.
