Military Archaeology

Me too! I would go with the covered reservoir theory myself.

 

Or maybe the last owner of the house was the real thing like in the Brenden Frasier movie Blast From the Past?

 

I read an article in one of the papers yesterday that Berlin's Teufelsberg is to be excavated by archaeologists, but I can't seem to find it online.
Here's a Wikipedia link though

The Devil's Mountain rubble mounds. I'm affraid the building is heavily vandalized by now. I'll try to find details, but I remember reading that it would cost a fortune to fix it.

 

Many thanks to all who signed the online petition preserving the grade 2 listed pillbox in Surrey, it looks like people power WON!.

Final decision "REFUSE" 20/6/07

When in Guildford a couple of weeks ago a friend visited the offices and was informed by a young lady on planning that "never was a subject more talked about in their department!"

 

Don't know if this has been posted here before. (It's a rather long thread!)
Excellent site on WW2 & Cold War remnants:
WW2 & Cold War History in Britain.

The Nuclear bomb storage facility attracted me in but the rest is all good stuff too.

Cheers,

I absolutely love old installations from the Nuke depot at Pease SAC base to the old Roman forts and medieval hill towns of Italy. It is also fun performing military archaelogical digs at estate and yard sales

 

Great stuff- got any pics?

 

Hey, that's good to know! Were you ever in the Troywood complex in Fife, or the Cultybraggan bunker in Perthshire?
Come to think of it, the guys at Subterranea Britannica would be very glad to hear from you.

 

An interesting project is completed-
Enfield Independent: News: Roundup

 

another aviation quiz coming up gents/ladies, straight from Austria. Been contact with a friend for the last who knows how many days. something very interesting from the LW side they he and his team are pulling out of the ground scattered far and wide

more to come.... may start a separate thread

 

Erich,
Did you start another thread for this? I've been a way for a while so I want to catch up.

On another point, I've just found out about this organisation concerned with military archaeology. Icofort -   IcoFort
Seems the powers that be are taking this branch of archaeology more seriously these days. Keep checking the site, since they seem to be about to migrate to a new server.

 

Hey these links are great. I will definetely keep checking. Thanks for adding the links Gordon and Erich.
