Jack Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I love Pauls site, and has been in my favourites way before HMVF was even thought of :schocked: Would go through it whilst on the phone to someone who was boring me :evil: and used to think 'lucky git'! What a small world! Paul, we will get some sort of article from you for the front page. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I seem to remember when I was a kid, some of the oldtimers in Burmarsh talking about a bolthole near there where some home guard soldiers were supposed to hole up if there had been an invasion and wait until the Germans had passed before surfacing to create havoc until they were killed. Don't know exactly where it was but it might be a lead worth following. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewroberts.1953 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Try this site http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/index.shtml ! But be warned, some of these places are still owned by MOD etc and many are very dangerous! :shake: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul connor Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 I know Subrit very well:) Nick Catford is a hero in this field for me... Tunnelrat is a member as well. I think the hole you refer to is an "auxillary unit" where they would hide until the enemy passed then attack from the rear, i have been i a few. Shame as the people that served have only just been reconised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunnel_Rat Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Mini update to thread, we managed to locate a deepshelter for a gun battery which is located over the cliff edge, we tried to find it in the snow, but without much luck, we were in the right area but couldnt see it for the snow!! :roll: There will be an update on the site in the next few days :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Yes I like all that secret stuff, just had a rebrouse of the site, mention of Orange Yeoman & Yellow River. I have a large trailer which was a simulator for Yellow River. A useful site for uncoding all those Ministry of Supply spectrum codes is: http://www.skomer.u-net.com/projects/start.htm There are a few errors but it is a diificult subject to cover. BTW my nom de plume FV1620 was originally intended as an Orange William launcher rather than Malkara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whistlinwolf Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 A couple of really good ones near Corsham, one dissused outside HMS Royal Arthur thats actually not all fenced off and one around corner from it with a complete hospital in it dating back to 1940s, this one will get you in big trouble if you try to access it. There is another excellent one near Corsham, trouble is they control nuclear subs from that one! That would get you shot! Keep up the good works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunnel_Rat Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've been down to Wiltshire in the past to explore Monkton Farleigh and surrounding underground sites . I would like to see HMS Royal Arthur looks very intresting. Cheers 4 the tip :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
