Explored with Jackal, Chess, Patch,Chubbs uk,Twisted,Hessian,littlemissbump and a few other who i cant remember the names
We started the day at St Martins then moved onto the detached and the north entrance, after some lunch we moved onto Fan bay, a bit of hunting around and we found it (its been over a year since we last visited).
Comical entrance as anyone who's visited will know
Bit of history.....
The shelter was built for the Fan Bay Battery which was only a few hundred feet away, Entry into the shelter would of been through a small brick buiding but this was demolished in the 80's.
The shelter was designed to accommodate 189 men 4 of which being officers.
After this we visited the search lights as none of us had seen these before.
Originally used to guid ships into the harbour until the war, when there role changed and they was used to identify and illuminate ships for the gun batteries above.
Out of the 3 that was there 2 still remain.
