Harpur Hill
Harpur Hill is now home to the UK Health and Safety Executive Laboratories, but was formerly a World War II bomb store, RAF 28 MU Harpur Hill. Its an interesting site to say the least.
RAF Ventnor
Take a virtual tour of RAF Ventnor Chain Home Radar Station on the Isle of Wight as it is today.
RAF Neatishead
A rare visit to the R3 ROTOR Bunker, the surface R12 building and the remaining, but decommissioned, type 85 radar at RAF Neatishead which is still operational, but was scaled down to a RRH (remote radar head) in 2004.
The U Boat Bunker (video)
This is the bunker complex from where Admiral Karl Dönitz commanded the German U-Boat’s towards the end of WWII. It is now mostly derelict, but the underground bunker remains intact.
Vogelsang Nuclear Base
In 1962 The Cuban Missile Crisis brought the world closer to nuclear war than ever before, but what the west didn’t know at the time was that the Soviets already had Nuke’s in their backyard! This is the amazing, secret storey of Vogelsang.
Brdy Klondajk former SAM site
Brdy Klondajk was a former soviet Surface to Air Missile base – rumoured at one point to have held a secret deployment of nuclear warheads targeted at West Germany
Duga (video)
What was once, one of the most secret places on earth now lies abandoned within the radioactive Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. One of the first videos from our week long filming trip.
Soviet Balistic Missile Silo
At the break up of the Soviet Union Ukraine was left with many Missile Launch Silos such as this, most are now full of concrete, but this one remains as a museum. It is identical to the ones in Russia today which still contain missiles targeted at the west.
Bunker 2 (video)
The second of two civil defence bunkers we managed to find our way into. Its amazing what is down here and all pretty easy to see in this video as the electricity was still on in this bunker so we switched the lights on.
Bunker 1 (video)
A very rare opportunity to see inside a secret Soviet Civil Defence bunker situated beneath a key part of Kiev’s public transport network. In the event of a nuclear attack by Britain or the USA the dated equipment in these bunkers (which is still present and working) would be used to track civilian casualties and damage on the surface. Today the bunkers which are still owned by the government, officially form part of the countries civil defence planning, ironically they are now more likely to be used to protect Ukraine from Russia than from the West. Can you believe what has been left inside when they were mothballed?
Ukraine Civil Defence Bunkers
A rare opportunity to see inside Soviet era civil defence bunkers under the streets of Kiev that are still officially in use, but which have hardly been touched since the break up of the Soviet Union and the end of the cold war.
Finding Bunkers (video)
Whilst doing some drone filming in Normandy for a documentary on Pegasus bridge we had some time off and put it to good use looking for disused World War II bunkers on the Normandy beaches.
The U-Boat Bunker
This is the bunker complex from where Admiral Karl Dönitz commanded the German U-Boat’s towards the end of WWII. It is now mostly derelict, but the underground bunker remains intact if you can find the small concealed entrance in the woodland.
Glyn Rhonwy’s secret (video)
In amongst these roads that go nowhere, buildings that were never built and street lights that waited patiently to light the businesses that never came there is a secret……
