I worked there in the early 70’s, the pictures of the Commcen (Communication Centre) look the same as when I worked there. He’s going UP the stairs we used to use on the way out. The little stick figures show the number of steps. These steps were harder after a night watch. We had two Megaton weapons trained at us by the Russians all the time I was there. The tunnel down to the ladies was very ling & narrow. We also had a galley down there where we made tea (wets) and bacon, sausage & egg on the night watch. There were always rumours of ghosts down there too.
@@Chrismartin88 yes, at the start of the video I explain I’ve been invited to look at it. At the end of the video I thank Andy who runs the Airsoft company for letting me enter. In the video description I explain the site’s current purpose. Yes, I had permission. Tried to make it as clear as I could really. 😀
I was a 17 year old WREN in 1969 when drafted to telecommunications .Working deep underground for Commander-in-Chief .Fort Southwick .Days and Nights ..A scary place .And lots of Asbestos in our Telecommunication place of work .!! Am 71 .72 in January 2024 .and my first ever lung Xray 3 weeks ago as shown up Asbestos in both lungs!! Am not surprised.Very Sad ...
What?! Why is this not a museum? This would be a great place to restore with some life size dioramas of how it looked back then plus a more general exhibition about D-Day across the South Coast.

Thanks Chris, it was an amazing afternoon and an incredible experience.
This is used for airsoft, did you go on a permission visit ?
