It also had no cashier, it was all self service in the canteen, even paying in an honesty box (cash only preferred, but a self service card machine was there as well for entry/tea food etc. Years ago we used to pay for the trials practice ground across the road by putting money in a sunken box with no one to check. Sorry, mine had the guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old building, warehouse, factory etc I'd agree but the chaps who guide you round here were excellent with stories of the Russian Air Force coming into our air space on a regular basis only to be chased out again were well worth the company. They also know where to go, this one was a right underground labyrinth. http://www.visitthebunker.com 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yen_powell Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Saw a youtube video about the Cold War era Harrier jet that flew on its own with no pilot and the Harrier jet that got lost and had to crash land on top of a container ship in the middle of the ocean today. Brilliant stories. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all this selling off of Cold War bunkers you've got to wonder what replaced them and where? Cos I can't believe that they didn't have other facilities in place ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a story there, if it could go wrong it did go wrong, but they still soldiered on, probably charging for every quarter of an hour of fighting as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 absolutely loved this!! Thanks!! I particularly liked the bicycles an the old computer!! There is a bunker near the Nurburgring, it was for NATO Commanders to use in case of nuclear attack. I think you would like to visit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
