Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker and lunch at North Weald airfield
https://nuclearessex.com/nuclear-bunker
An opportunity to understand the story of the bunker starting with its role as an RAF ROTOR Station, then a brief period as a civil defence centre through to its most recent life as an underground bunker for Regional Government HQ. Designed for up to 600 military and civilian personnel, possibly even the Prime Minister, their collective task being to organise the survival of the population in the awful aftermath of a nuclear war.
When finished here we will drive the short distance to the airfield café at North Weald to see what is happening there.
The bunker visit will start at 10.00 and will cost £15 payable on the day.

The visit will start at 10.00 with more details to follow
