I’m being deliberately vague on info here. This is a hardened structure under 6m of solid concrete, designed to take a direct hit from a 1,000lb explosive. .It has an entire storey to air filtration, every steel blast door leads to an airlock. It was used test and repair the avionics equipment, as well as to train pilots in the art of dropping nuclear payloads during the cold war.

Visited with Gingrove, great to meet you fella!

External shower, just to get the worst off of a chemical attack off.

Some areas had buzzing power:

As you can imagine, there was a lot of plant. I loved stuff like this so apologies if this is a bit pic heavy.

This area reminded me a lot of a Red Dwarf set…

This room would have had 2 fully working cockpit simulators. I love that they had ‘Tunes’. In my mind this just played the Top Gun theme on loop:

The emblem on his chest and the screwdriver sums up the purpose of this building perfectly:

Nice one mate, never managed to get in to this one when we did the site a few years back.
The wall art gave it away.

Cheers newage
