Plymouth Maritime HQ Bunker System

Well, after a good look around admiralty house a few weeks ago CLICK, i got the e-mail I'd been waiting for. The date was set, a few of us would get to look around the Maritime HQ - A nuclear, chemical and biological bunker set in the grounds of the house and its land.

After a breakfast, we meet up and 380+ pictures later, this is what I came out with.

Many thanks to DJ and co for getting this sorted.

Information on the site can be found http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/m/mount_wise/index.html

The site is in two parts, the top two levels are all office blocks type build for cold war and the ground floor is the WW2 bunker, all under several tons of concrete.

I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did taking them There will be more pictures to follow...

Excellent report and pics, even if some of them were printed back to front ! Was that a shell dressing or field dressing I spotted ? hopefully post war by the looks of it, unlike some of the ones we had that were made and issued in 1943 and still in huge supply in the 1990's
