Saw stuff like that in the communications bunker at leuchars raf base. But I think if I whipped out a camera would likely get shot.
I have worked or raf base before, the man on the gate with the gun suggested in strong terms that photography was a BAD IDEA!
if this is anything other than a disused bunker or a museum, I think taking the post backdown would be in your best interests.

Open to the public, don't worry. I ain't stupid ?
I actually own an ex military underground bunker, but the only electrics in mine is a couple of 12 volt lamps, a switch, and a couple of croc. clips to attach to a battery.
Looks like it is here:

Similar, I guess, to Scotland's "secret" bunker (now signposted all over Fife...) here:

There are some real good bunkers locally to me. Im moving to corsham in October, just outside Bath and literally living on top the underground oasis
OP
An ROC post? Which one is it?

Yes indeed, on both counts.
Great places to visit.
there's one near Nantwich. AA signs allover the place pointing to "Secret Bunker".

Hack Green I think? Same type of bunker.
#11, Alpha 3. Bought from the government about 30 years ago for the extortionate sum of £1.

Fantastic! Original hatch and key as well - that must be rare these days. Bargain price as well, they normally go for around £20k and above these days!
I spent a lot of time in one of those in the sixties.
I remember the stirrup pump well for raising the radio mast, and the individual Dosimeter to tell us if we were goosed or not in the event of surviving a blast.
It's about 15m off of the public road, so no one can reach it without crossing my land. Hence the bargain price.
Absolutely clean and dry inside, as can be seen in the pics. Before the current Covid nonsense, I used to give tours of the place to any of our holiday cottage guests that wanted to, but I haven't been near the place now for nearly two years, and the compound is a mass of impenetrable brambles.
Original locks are now safely stored away and replacements fitted, after it was pointed out that the pics of the key online are good enough for copies to be made.
Always knew when the cold war was heating up, since the crew would bring their water storage containers to our place to fill them.

brambles can be clared as easily as a Electrical Trainee spaghetti wiring. you just need the right tool for the job.

Oh, I have the tool, it's the will that's lacking at the moment.
In the meantime, they're a good security feature.
and can make wine from blackberries.
I'll give you £2 for it. Just think, 100% profit ?
