I mean, it's still... How many have you been to?

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah, I mean, a lot of the ones that are intact are just incredible to see.

Chatabix

So, for example, we went to Wales and in South Wales, there was an auxiliary unit bunker that had collapsed, but that was still in pretty good shape.

Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And you could see the various chambers and the tunnel.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

But then we found literally just down the road, a special duties branch wireless bunker.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And it was completely intact.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And the hatch, the entrance to the entry hatch was just like a metre off the footpath.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

No.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And it was completely intact.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So you could go down.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Well, basically, we knew it was somewhere around there.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And the local remembered seeing it in the night.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So we basically spent a day trampling around and scraping dirt.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Oh, it's incredible.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And, and, and the, just unbelievable.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

So you open it up and it's completely intact and like, and then we found there's a massive tree right next to it.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

And the aerial wire was still going up the tree as well.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Yeah.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

Of course.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton

If we're quiet.
