RAF Holmpton - Nuclear Bunker 8th April 2017

[@oddball1711]

My first posting in the RAF Sept '72 - Apr '74 when it closed as a radar station. Happy days.

My job in the R.Sigs would have been in a local Authority bunker doing comm's by radio, phone, teleprinter etc. and setting up relay stations on hills after the blast!

I lived in a Police house back in the 80's and part of my job would have been to take a WW2 hand cranked air raid siren out into the garden and wind it up in the event of an attack warning red. Would I have? no I would have gone inside and said goodbye to my kids, frightening times.

[@bernardfox390]

Not forgetting the clicking speaker!

Glad you went here, it's changed slightly last time I visited a couple of years ago, i.e. the bar, Area 7 which has a new interesting exhibit and poses lots of interesting questions lol but yeah great film, Thanks for that mate =)

Der beste "Nuklear Bunker", früherer Zeiten her gebaut, welchen ich bisher gesehen habe.

[@buchonite]

Enjoyed that , will go give Holmpton a look this summer

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

I found it very interesting. I didn't document the Royal Observer Corps section of the bunker though as I spent over an hour talking to an ex ROC member in there named Ted.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jacobsc8634]

Wonder why you can't go in Area 5?

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

Jacob Croft to give it an air of mystery I expect lol. Thanks for watching.

[@jimmyfandago3211]

cool vid. I used to live in E. yorks. Have you been to Bempton Cliffs? I went there in the early 90's.

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

Yes I visited the ROTOR station at Bempton years ago. The bunker is inaccessible though now. Thanks for watching.

[@thiswan1]

I wonder why the UK Blast doors in these bunkers seem like nothing more that a sheet of thick steel plate where as others like in the US are simular to a bank Vault and about a metre thick arn't they supposed to do the same job?

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

thiswan1 thanks for watching

[@MFCSTUDIOS]

I assume that the reason whould be this is a early warning site so while it whould be a target the the chances of them being a direct target is slim. The actual silos now whould be a direct target so thus were built stronger

[@MammaCass]

Good job

Cassie Bird Thanks for watching

[@DiscoverWithPajerico]

Nice video man

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

Thanks for watching

Fall out is the least of your problems. It's the gama rays that will kill you during the explosion. As long as you don't injest or inhale the Beta particulates( fall out) you will be OK.

[@abundantYOUniverse]

SO what have you been up to lately? Oh, just redecorating my basement, wanna see?

[@lewisstubbs5365]

I've been their on holiday The owner give us a lift back to his caravan

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

It's a great site to visit. Thanks for watching

[@SurvivingTheApocalypse]

There was never bar inside when this site was operational, it was installed by the current owners. Sadly like most Cold War museums in the UK they are liberal with the truth.

[@UKHISTORYHUNTER]

Actually there was a bar and recreation room in the bunker until 1974 when it was stripped out. facebook.com/visitthebunker/photos/a.872438616128924.1073741827.872435399462579/1174429232596526/?type=3&theater

[@rickg5696]

You know they tell you all that bullshit but if it's not really right if you're in a secured area you don't have to worry about it I don't know how it is over there where you guys are but in the United States is more secure..

[@rickg5696]

I have not got any response from a American
