MoD Electronics store - March 2012.

BARSTEWARDS!!!! No wonder we could never get spares back in the mid 80's. Some twat obviously decided he'd far rather hoard all the valves in one place.

Aye, bloody local storeman only had one left in stock but won't give it to you just in case someone needs it!

Stores is for storing! If they were for issuing, theyd be called issues!

Its lonely in there, with your 1033 in your hand...

What a treasure trove there are hams out there who would give their eye teeth to get a handful of that lot,
Great photos.

It’s one of those places that always leaves you with mixed feelings about whether to post or not. It’s always personal choice.

Thoroughly enjoyable report. Thanks guys.

 

[Scaramanger]

Exactly that. Wrestled with it.
But made the decision that something like this needs to be shared. It'll all probably be gone soon, and it would be criminal leaving it on a hard drive when theres so many geek... I mean 'enthusiasts' on here. So shared, but kept anon.

Slightly off topic and I don't want to start another side topic: but secrecy is becoming more neccessary. I've left the name off my 'Site M' live telescope report. Just because the first person that googles the name of it will get a pic of me halfway up, next day it'll be in the paper with "Urban Explorers Raid Live Scientific facility". Thats different tho, just kept the name off, it's hardly a secret - it's hundreds of acres, and visable from 10's of miles away!

Cracking shots and find chaps

So much cool stuff here.

I recognise lots of things. Them sets of headphones look like they should belong with the De-Contamination Meter No.1

Lot's of crates there that are identical to the battery crates used by the ROC.


An awesome find and i hope its location isnt shared

There's a place in Somerset very similar to this, a real treasure trove of military history. Great photos!

Also saw a report from another site and also worked out where it is, but don`t worry i`m not going to post or say where it is. As i too want places like this not being ebayed from known shabby chic explorers

Bog standard Larkspur kit, they'll have been used with any mil kit from that era that needed audio out.

I know, that was shocking, but with that site I can see articles of "6 masked figures calling themselves urban explorers broke in...@ etc.

Then worse than that, you'd copy the article onto Facebook and add your own speech bubbles! Lol!

Bloody hell irishmanlost, I didn't post any externals on purpose, that's some good detective work, that's what exploring is all about.

 

[nelly]

Editing press photos with speech bubbles??? Moi???

 

[mj1704]

Cheers, it's better than any museum! Unfortunately time was tight, and we got spooked a couple if times, so I was literally grabbing stuff and photographing it as quick as poss!

I had someone contact me via my website about the 'Robin' device: it's for detecting / measuring currents along a cable.
