S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Or kids who accidentally found them, you know, in the 1560s, kids running around these forests, find this and jump down it and have a look in it.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

And then they kind of...

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Actually, I played in that in the 50s and 60s.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Or, yeah, literally a cow's fallen through it or a tractor's gone over it or something like that.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Then that, you know, it opens it up and you've got it.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, well, it's been really interesting.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

So the last...

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

five or six years as we've built up publicity and more people have become aware of it and it's still happening now is that we're obviously not getting it from the veterans themselves but we're getting so many more people thinking her granddad did talk about something like that

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

and he did talk about these words or quite often what happens is that oh granddad used to go take us for a walk through this woods and then he'd just disappear at this bit just to go and check on something and then he'd come back yeah we get I've had like nine or ten stories like that where they just go for a walk with granddad or go for a walk with their dad in the 60s and it'll just be like two sex or go and and he wasn't a pervert or anything I mean I can't I can't confirm that he had another woman down the lane yeah his other family was in the bunker yeah yeah yeah

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

I just thought that was part of my private property.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

And it's much more obvious than it would be because obviously, so if you imagine this hatch would be completely flush to the floor, covered in these leaves.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

And therefore you couldn't.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, well, exactly.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, exactly.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Those that are like this, with the hatch in place, the leaves, you could be wandering around here forever and you wouldn't have a chance.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, there's a few things.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

You've got people who come in and, for whatever reason, graffiti in them and destroy them and whatever.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

The main thing is, though, is that they're mainly not safe.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

You've got essentially corrugated iron that's 84 years old with damp.

Chatabix
S10 Ep 366 David goes bunker hunting with WW2 historian Andrew Chatterton

So you don't want to encourage public in there just because... You don't want that falling on your head.
