Boba69 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 OK. Hi, i know this is nothing to do with MVs, but well worth a mention. With the opening of the Battle of Britain Bunker to the public at weekends this year, i thought i would make a visit. It is somewhere i have always wanted to go for some years now, as it is on my doorstep, but with RAF Uxbridge being still a working base until 2010, visiting was limited and only open for one day a year, or pre arranged visits could be done by advanced appointment. Anyway checking the B o B B web site i saw that the last weekend they are open this year is August 31st 2013, then closed for the winter, so thought i would get a visit in quick. It is free to get in but they do recommend a donation of £3, but well worth the fiver that i donated, as long as it keep this important peace of history alive. Anyway enough chatter in my opinion well worth a visit next year if anyone is interested and spread the word. Sorry not able to upload any pics as files are to big.

Pete Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Don't go! There are far too many weirdos that visit such places! http://s320.photobucket.com/user/outdug/library/RAF%20Uxbridge%20Operations%20Bunker%2025-2-11?sort=9&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited with a pre-arranged group visit. What a fantastic atmosphere to stand where Churchill stood and asked 'What reserves have you' and the answer was 'None!! They're all up'.

Boba69 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Update, The Battle of Britain Bunker is now open again at weekends without appointment. Well worth a visit to anyone who maybe interested. Just check the website as there are one or two weekends in June and July that it is not open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
