Inside The RAF's Secret Nuclear Bunker | Forces TV 

I find people who served in the British Armed Forces to be so humble. The overall sentiment seems to be "we just did our bit". Very humble and very admirable. They can also be very willing to respect their enemy. An armed force of gentlemen and ladies it seems. Unfortunately, the British government at the time didn't respect those brave ladies service.

There’s a ‘secret’ nuclear bunker that has been turned into a attraction, which has lead to a fantastic sign on the motorway near, Secret Nuclear Bunker Next junction

"Another cold war seems to be on it's way" it's chilling how quickly this became true.

1:55 Interesting wardrobe choice for a televised interview. Lol. Leather motorcycle pants and a collared shirt.

When I left the RAF apprentice school, one of us was posted to Hack Green and we tried to find where it was. We were told in no uncertain terms that we were to stop. The Man posted there received a railway warrant to Crewe. He was then met at the station and driven by a round about route to 'The Hole' . Years later I was visiting my sister in Crewe. Not far from her house was a Big sign with arrow "Secret Bunker now open" It was originally a rotor air defense center but then became a regional seat of government. All the Holes were basically the same 50 feet underground. One in Devon, when they tried to excavate they hit granite and gave up, they built the standard hole in what they had, leaving most of it above ground, it was known as "the Hole In the Sky" There was also one near Newcastle that instead of going down they dug into the side of a hill the entrance guardroom was carefully disguised as a farm cottage, the 50 space carpark may have given it away??

Huge respect to these men and women and thank you for your service!❤

Not so secret now

“All the locals knew what was going on” “SECRET BUNKER!!” Well okay then...

Very brave & admirable ladies.So normal on the outside & yet extraordinarily brave.

Another great vid!

I did two tours there when it was RAF Patrington in the 60's.

ive been there it's a great museum

Thanks for keeping us safe! ❤

Great video. The work done in the quiet to keep us safe from the red menace!

Scary times these ladies worked through. The information that is now in the public domain about the scale of the possible Soviet attack using nuclear weapons is chilling. Great vid thank you.

Thank god you have trousers..yes....

It's a very interesting place to go down, spent a few hours down there last year on a tour of the facility.

Why has he still got his bike leathers on 😂

The one in Scotland looks identical

Two things you don't normally hear together "happy place to work" & "NBC warning center "

Another interesting visit is to the Air Defence Museum At Neatishead near Norwich. The only RAF Air Defence Radar Museum.....good interesting guided tours too! A forgotten part of 'The Other RAF!

Standing behind a perspex screen writing backwards? That's a human cathode ray tube! In the era of big screen computer displays I wonder if this is a lost art? If so, it'll have to be a skill that's reinstated as modern computer equipment won't operate in a nuclear environment.

I was born toward the end of the Cold War so I never experienced it as an adult, but I like to wonder if the UKs apparent lack of provision of shelters for the general public might've been grounded in the knowledge that it takes quite a bit more than a nuclear attack/fallout to stop many Britons from doing whatever needs to be done?... ☢⚒😇

"nOt sO sEcReT nOw"

That's a disgrace that those women have not received any civil service pension or RAF pension as a minimum. Where are all the MP's when you need them to fight for a deservedly earned pension for providing a very needed service to the country?

As long as you kept the bunker completely sealed and everything worked perfectly until you run out of fuel or food. If you got a couple decent rain storms it would wash some of the radiation away too. You can bet they had teams and gear stationed in places they didn’t think would be targeted to come in and pick up the VIP out the bunkers after a attack and get them to some UN Bunker.

History.

People are stupid if they think that this is the only secure facility that they use like this it wouldn't show us their hand

Great video please do one on the decommissioned but still used ICBM silos under the runways at raw ouston. Hedon on the wall near Newcastle the presentation pictures of the rockets before transport for decommissioning at the end of the cold War show

I love forces tv ahahah

Should’ve titled it, talking about the nuclear bunker. I don’t remember seeing much of the inside.

Not so secret bunker anymore

Menwith hill?

Secret

Been inside RAF Bulmer as a cadet in the bunker

After years of loyal service, they didn't get a pension and were on a 3rd of the salary their male counterparts were on.😥❤️

I now know where I’m going when the bombs fall.

Puzzles me why so much is put on the internet these days

OPSEC

So secret .....

What about your family? Oh, I'm alright Jack

Meet you there boys 👊 wwlll 2k20

Not so secret now is it? Y'all are so smart.

Notification sqaud

Forewarned is Forearmed.

Loving the man wearing the leather pants very sexy lol

How were these girls selected for this work?

No pension for the girls, that's a national disgrace.

If om;y the Soviets had realised that all they had to do was buy thousands of rubber boats and they could have invaded England without firing a shot and they would be living in 4 star hotels today.

Not very secret

It’s interesting that these ladies received only a THIRD of what their male colleagues were paid and received no pension (unfair and outrageous), yet they were happy in their work. European women enjoy equal rights today and in some areas (in some countries) even extra privileges, but are more unhappy than all their predecessors. Go figure.
