Where would you love to see?

where would you love to see/have seen.

I would have loved to have seen the Titanic being built at the dry docks and everything that went on with the planning http://www.titanic-titanic.com/article_rob_smith_thompson_dock.shtml here is some of it as it is today, would still like to go this year!
I would like to go down to the wreck site but the cost to go is so high thats not going to be likely.

It would also be interesting (or im sad) to watch asylums/stately homes being built used and then gradually deteriorate.

There are two impregnable bunkers in my world right now. Either one would do.

Thunder city would have been my choice too, shame they shut down but their safety record was very bad

Angkor Wat, I'd love to go but family and work conspire against me

Would love to have been able to go into the control room of reactor 4 at Chernobyl!

I would love to do the trans siberian express over about 3 months with lots of time to get on and off and explore everything along it.

Dim question can you still go? Or is it one of the parts that's too radioactive?

To have visited the active UK RAF/ US airbases at the height of the cold war.

Mitchell's & Butler's brewery in Cape hill, Birmingham.

It was in the final stages of demolition when I moved to the area in 2006 (half of one building left)

Here is an illustration of what it once looked like...

It's now a housing estate

If you can visit Bruntingthorpe airfield on one of their fast taxi run days,its not quite the same as sitting in the cockpit
but just as scarey...awesome day out check out their web site.

It's been done. But is not do able now the new sarcophagus is under construction.
My associate at the Chernobyl interinform knows if one person that done it around 5 years ago now. The zone was cleared if all other visitors 'just in case' and it cost the lucky individual around £30,000 for what must have been a couple of minutes!

The Crystal Palace at Penge..what a sight to behold.

 

[maximus]

May seem a silly one but would have loved to see the original fawlty towers hotel (wooburn country club) before the fire and before it was demolished to make way for posh houses

This is my dream. Old Havana, Cuba. Now undergoing the biggest restoration project of the unmodernised city...full of derelict buildings, peeling paint and the colour blue. Not to mention the Buena Vista Social Club! My idea of heaven.

I would like to see what is under Bridgend (south Wales) town centre.
Talking to an old workmates "during the war" there was a massive ammo depot'/factory.
Have seen one of the old railway entrance to it.
Will Try to photo it when I'm up that way next.
It had a bad roof fall when I was there a few years ago.

Seen that from Concorde and it cost me 110 quid. Must admit it is a strange feeling to look at. You can just about make the curve out from a Jumbo as well.
What would I like to have seen, odd as it seems the second world war.

,,when I was a kid I spent a lot of time wandering around Cardiff's derelict dockland ,,,,,,, I would like to have seen it in it's glory. My G/dad was a dock"s policeman in the days when his truncheon was his best friend and he was full of amazing stories. The docks area was adjacent to Tiger Bay (China-town) and other ethnic "ghettos" ,,,,,,not a place for "whites" to wander.

You might have seen the film Tiger Bay ,,,,, that's what it was like in the 50's My parents were married in the Bute Street church where Hayley Mills sang as a chorister
