About last week... We promised an update in due course... Well, we found something rather spectacular...

It all started with a lot of concrete and little hope of an entry, until the earth began to shift...

What followed was beyond expectations...

We were extremely lucky that the entrance of this big structure was located within our trench of only 2m wide. And it only got better when we started clearing it.

Bit by bit the trench leading to the entrance was being uncovered, also fortified with concrete walls

Preservation at the bottom was extraordinary. Wooden floor boards and steps leading down to the bunker entrance. Concrete walls finished with planks and... the lower part of the wooden door, still in situ and...closed

The inside was open, filled with water but with some of the original elements still there.

Further research of the inside was stopped because the option for preservation in situ was chosen. The bunker is now sealed and will we saved from destruction.
