  • Tunbridge Wells Broadwater Down tunnels was built in 1941 for 12th Corps, Q Branch. It had limited use by 12th Corps Signals for about 12 months.
    By late 1942 it became clear that the bunker had a flooding problem being built as it was in semi-porous sandstone and clay.
    In 1946 it was sealed up by the Ministry of Defence.
    General Montgomery denied in 1969 that it had been built as his war-time HQ but whether constructed for him or another leader, it is believed to have been part of the country's readiness for Nazi invasion.

    Great video fellas, there's no way I'd have the confidence to wade through all that.
    Gotta say though, with those waders and hat, Ian really reminds me of a Captain Scarlet character.
    love to ALL, feel no hate

    Hello lads. What mic are you using for the narration? I watched with headphones on and it sounds really clear.

      @@IKS-Exploration I’m such a knob lol, I had that exact mic, but sold it and bought a Rode xlr Podmic thinking it would sound better. Now I’m listening to yours and realised I should have just kept it. Thanks for the info though.

    Going full KREOSAN 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just missing a crazy Russian with a chain saw. You should seriously consider some air/oxygen sensors and even a Geiger counter.
