The visit.
one Sunday in early November im sitting at home thinking where to go i decide to check out the elusive Bawburgh bunker while there i discover that contery to popular belief you can in fact get in so that night along with a good friend of mine we go down into what is said to be one of the UK's most elusive bunker
fantastic place loved it in there
a week later i return with a couple of other explorers i know well
history
stolen from subbrit
bunker built as part of the rotor programme. A fourth floor was later added and the bunker became SRHQ4.1 and later RGHQ4.1
Site was closed and stripped out in 1992. Now owned by Highpoint Communications, who use it as a radio site. They do not use the bunker, and visits are discouraged.
When Linesman was in the offing it was proposed to dig another hole about half way along the access tunnel and insert a second R4 which would have housed the Linesman system. The project was costed and surveyed and approved, but never happened due to the alarming computer failures of Linesman itself. Had it gone ahead, this would have been one of the most unique bunker sites in the UK, sporting two R4s side by side.
and now for the massive Paxman 12 YHX MK4 58.68 liter v12 twin turbo generator making a continuous 650BHP at 1000RPM producing 410KW of 3 phase electricity for the bunker
a few weeks later just before Christmas i also went for a little climb
unfortunately not long after this one of the blokes i went with gets sent a few photos of what it looks like now someone has for some reason seen the need to smash their way in
