A man who admitted making nail bombs at his West Yorkshire home has been jailed for 11 years.
Terence Gavan, 38, who the Old Bailey heard showed a strong hostility towards immigrants, was arrested by police in a raid at his home in May 2009.
The bus driver's arsenal of weapons and explosives included home-made shotguns, pen guns and pistols.
Gavan, from Batley, also pleaded guilty to six counts of having or collecting documents useful in terrorism.
Sentencing Gavan, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said his case was "unique" because of his long and persistent manufacture of guns and explosives.
Gavan, who the court heard was a former member of the BNP, pleaded guilty to 22 charges at Woolwich Crown Court in November.
I'm glad this fascist nutcase is off the streets, with potential terrorists like this, al Queda are pretty much out of a job. Sounds like a right loser to, sacked from the Army, living with his mum with no girlfriend/wife, making guns and grenades as a hobby and joining the BNP because of his hatred of immigrants.
