I actually went over the Old Ranges to gain entry to another structure (previous video)..I had borrowed some ladders to climb down into a Service Reservoir...but after I finished recording...i had an epiphany ..I decided to see if I could get to the top of the HQFB ..to film etc...
Its been decades since my friends and I would sneak up here and do mid night BBQs lol ...
I've put together this short video... I hope you find it interesting 👍
If you do enjoy the video please give the video a 👍THUMBS UP 👍🙏

Ive been researching Granddad since I was 12ish I'm now age 57, I have a letter addressed to him thats dated 1920, the address is to the Barracks S of G Shoeburyness, hed been in the army RGA before 1913 and was demobbed 1921, a very interesting find and now able to add more to his history of time at Shoeburyness. cheers fella keep up the work 👍

My Grandfather was killed test firing a gun in Torquay, home guard. WW2. They needed training to fire these things. Now its all drones, automatic guns, and all. In the old days it was a bloody great bang and a lot of recoil and bits moving fast that could chop your arm off, then get a new shell and do it again. "Practice". But that throws nasty things down range.

Looks like I need to get myself down to Shoeburyness!

Any chance of pausing a bit longer on the photos in future? They were barely on screen enough to see anything? Walked past this many times so it was interesting to watch.
