The village of Hamble lies on The Solent (Southampton Water) and has some very interesting Second World War / WW2 history. One weekend my son and I decided to take a trip to see if we can find any WW2 bunkers in Hamble or pillboxes... and we did.
In this video you see us exploring the Bofors gun tower platform on Hamble Point shore, then one of the Extended Defence Officer (XDO) Posts at Hamble. This bunker in Hamble served a very interesting purpose.
We then had a quick drive to Satchell Lane in Hamble to find a pillbox that guarded the WW2 airfield location.
