Yes, good point Degsy, so why take the fence down to allow people to fall into the shafts, when the work is not yet completed, beggars belief.
Yes, Im sure KCC will win and he will have to take the fence down, but it all seems a bit over the top to be honest.
Do they not appreiciate what He and his helpers are doing for this long demolished, forgotten site, which is of importance in the defence of this country in the battle of Britain.
Ramblers..ramble else where for a while...

Amazing collection..

Some scenes from the film Batman begins were filmed there, parts of Gotham City were built inside, the film was codenamed 'the intimidation game', I think Warner Bros restored the hanger before filming.
A pic of inside.
Oops, just read post above :-/

Nice little find there, well done.

Was at the Battle of Britain museum at Hawkinge couple of days ago and discovered they have the remains of one in their grounds, i spotted a blue hatch and inside were the rusty workings of the fort, they should restore it.

I was based at 6SU RAF Rudloe Manor, and used to work in an underground tunnel complex. Down in the old parts of the tunnels It was used for storing ammunition and building aircraft assemblies, and had the facilities of a small town!. The Polish workers that built aircraft parts took to making murals, by carving deep outlines, then making up a cement with aircraft paint added to colour it and filling in the carvings, i remember seeing pictures of horses in one tunnel.
Pot holers used to get into the tunnel system, sometimes by accident as there was alot of old mine shafts going back to Roman days, and land up in the tunnels, we used to have an Infrared CCTV set up, and see them walking around in amazement, even more amazed when we escorted them out under armed guard!
Very intersting post, have the tunnel complexes been de-commissioned, as I was led to believe the site was no longer in use??

I've been doing a little research on the V1/V2 missile sites of Northern France and would like to do a recce on a few of the coastal sites, initially, then move more in-land towards the underground stuff (possibly on another trip).
Would anyone be interested in a day-trip to Calais for a mooch around in some undergrowth in France!?
