just back from a call-out to the bunker following reports of it being flooded – luckily it wasn’t, just the recently fitted sump pumps doing their jobs. The recent repair to prevent the water ingress, however is doing less well and looks destined to fail in the near future. Also […]

Visited the bunker yesterday (maintenance on Sump Pump backup power supplies) and had time for a look at some of the lights in the plotting room. They are Holophane lights and have two 100watt bulbs in each (marked Property of H.M. Government) except for some of the High up ones […]
another two slave clocks came to light, one sadly trashed probably beyond repair. The mechanism rotates freely on the face it’s supposed to be screwed to and the rear cover is missing. It may turn up as the bunker has quite a knack for hiding things in plain sight. Decided […]
Dropped in to the bunker today for a spot of BBC filming (should be going out on 9th November 2015). See the results of the filming here Took a little time out to try and find out why one of the self closing doors wasn’t self closing. Turns out one […]

This has led to Bunker 13 being locked out of the bunker simply due […]
