We are exploring a WW2 Transmitting Underground Station in Dingli. This site is closed to the general public, but thanks to MATS (Malta Air Traffic Services) we got permission to explore this site.This underground complex was excavated during 1941. We had an old map to go on, and during our exploration we added 2 other tunnels to the map as well. This site is in a very good condition. Here we find manly 3 rooms, Generator Rooom with a very small room for a radio operator, an equipment room which housed the transformers and a operations room. Also have 3 ventilation tunnels, one of which end in the cliff face. This was used during the world war 2 mainly to give alerts to the Valletta stations when an air raid was detected.
