Part1 of the explore here:
• Video
I worked there in early 1970s. It was the RRE then (Royal Radar Establishment) I worked on some secret electronic detection equipment for use in N.Ireland and then infra Red Cameras. Certainly no weird alien / chemical stuff going on back then... 😜
How do u know though years since I worked there.🤔
I cant believe you managed to get in the server room. I used to work there as a contractor looking after the Denco cooling units in that room about 15yr ago that particular room was actually police special branch data centre and was very hush hush I had to be escorted everywhere and they used to sit with me while I worked on the units ..great video chaps brought back some memories
Very cool. I guessedthey were snooping and undeleting peoples hard drives... fuqrz... lol
@@TheSecretVault I guess so lol
would not want to be a prisoner here, who knows the horror that happened behind this hidden center. Imagine how many are active with lost souls inside of them still, that we have no idea about.
Replaced a few Denco units in my time. Always in secure locations.
Must have been a thing back in the day…
@@NotWatchingTV Nothing crazy went on there. QQ Malvern was mostly about communications no chemical, biological or nuclear stuff went on there. I worked there for 10 years.
Watched 1 and 2 back to back. Matt, your No 1 in the U.K. as far as I can see. Keep up the good work fella 👍
Very interesting, thank you and the other lads for all the hard work, its really appreciated, cheers Matt, best explore channel on TH-cam,
the tubes are man traps or anti follow throughs - they are used in computer datacentres, including the ark. They also weigh you, mainly to make sure you arent leaving with kit!
Man Im becoming addicted to this channel your video's rock and they have a way of staying with you after watching for a few days....just brilliant stuff !!
Matthew, great video. DERA is Defence Evaluation and Research Agency, when it was run by MoD and the Govt before QinetiQ became the research contractor.
I have liked it even before I have watched it. That's because we all know it will great as usual.
I did the same too.
Brilliant Video.
I'm an electrical engineer.
That whole site reminds me massively of a different research / production Site I helped decommission in the early 2000's ...the air enters top down through HEPA filters in the big labs with primary course filters before the HEPA filters ...I made a bloody fortune from the gear ...Dove bid didn't have a clue how to sell most of the stuff ...a lot went unsold so I took it all ...of course with permission from the owners they had a dead line to clear the site and didn't care where it all went ..it just had to go quickly.
The yellow coated glass is for Photo sensitive materials the whole area would have been under yellow light ...these facilities are often used for Photo-lithography for semiconductor production / research or to prevent photo sensitive chemicals from degrading.
The 'Time Machine' you saw is an early remote machine for mixing chemicals / gasses .. used in case the reaction liberates dangerous substances or the reaction progresses a bit quicker than intended.
Dichroic glass is made to reflect long wavelength light (IR aka heat) back into the source and only let the visible light or wanted wavelengths through ...its was commonly used in ordinary 50 GU10 lamps .
You are totally correct about the pressure differential in the labs the 'clean' labs that didn't house any thing dangerous would have been kept at a positive pressure compared to the rest of the building so they didn't get contaminated in the event of a minor breach ...the labs containing dangerous substances would have been kept at a lower pressure than the rest of the building to stop the rest of the building getting contaminated in the event of a minor breach.
I'm amazed how much gear they've left there to 'rot'
keep up the exploring ...
Thanks for all the great info. Seems now if the time to put in a very low bid to get some stuff out of there then.
Nice answer. The dichromic glass is actually a UV mirror, designed to reflect predominatly UV while letting other wavelengths through. The glass bulb in the same cabinet is indeed an arc lamp, but a UV one containing mercury vapour... if this breaks the residues will be toxic. Naughty of them to leave it around. These and the laser and camera look like spares for the black equipment you walked past which is a really ancient example of a 'stepper' used for patterning microchips. This is done by shining UV through a mask onto a thin layer of UV sensitive plastic. It works like a microscope in reverse, taking a large image and projecting it small with a very intense light. No other UV light is allowed in the room - if you remove UV from 'White' light you get yellow, so any filter removing blue looks yellow. If you had looked up there would probably have been yellow light bulbs in the ceiling. The mesh in the windows provides electrical screening between rooms, other types of patterning equipment can be sensitive to stray RF.
Sorry, 25years in the industry....
@getyerspn I might need an electrical engineer lol Im a cosmetic scientist. good to know you lol. Im based in London
So much for having a productive morning. That was a great explore. Such a diverse use of military science development and research. The "bunker" development and display areas just go to show what is hidden is so many newer underground bunkers that are probably mostly still active and in use storing much of the other tech/biotech that is seen in the lab buildings.
This was originally the site of RSRE, the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment. During WW2 it is where radar was developed and weaponised. It was later called DRA, the Defence Research Establishment and later DERA, the Defence Evaluation and Research Establishment before it was sold to QinetiQ. For years, up until the late 1980’s, a large spinning white radar dish at RSRE was a landmark in Malvern and you would often see military vehicles on the top of the Worcestershire Beacon sending signals back down to the base.
Love your videos and your style, I've been binge watching... Cheers !
The shielded room would be for calibrating delicate instuments without the local taxi radios interfering.
From what I could see that room was a long way from being fully Tempest compliant..
1st class video to watch thank you take care kind regards from me kenneth👈❤❤❤💥💯👍
1:44:35 the big green box from RAF Waddington is a mobile server rack making it easy to transport whole parts of operation centers for use with the added protection of the flight case. They can usually stay wired up inside the box and require minimal plugging in on site. All the good stuff has been removed presumably by MoD just like the rest of the place :) the little monitor keyboard pullout is usually for maintainance of the server itself and not always to use the equiptment at hand.
Just an FYI really,
As Steve said "D.E.R.A. refers to "The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency and was a part of the UK Ministry of Defence between 1995 and 2 July 2001. At the time it was the United Kingdom's largest science and technology organisation. It was regarded by its official history as 'a jewel in the crown' of both government and industry." "
All true, also, it was a massive earner for the treasury as we didn't only work for UK MoD but also contracted to many overseas governments and agencies. (I say we because of course at the time it was publically owned)
2001 saw a change in the data protection act which made it possible / easier for any person or organisation to deliver FOI & SAR requests so it was deemed necessary to privatise DERA into QuinetiQ / Cobham / Serco Defence and a few others as private companies have no obligation to reply to said requests.
The second and more important reason was of course that many of the above named companies had been heavily invested in by 'people in the know' and now became a perfect vehicle for transferring billions of £s out of the public purse and into the private sector (some say via off shore accounts, I couldn't possibly comment)
As with all things that seem a bit odd / shady, just follow the money, you'll get your answers ;o)
Great Vid btw ;o)
ATB, ODJ
This is very true - as the cold war wound down the Government/MOD had a lot of assets it either wanted tio get rid of or to run a lot cheaper. There were many establishments for example RAE Farnborough and its outstations which became part of Quinetiq -- and the fact is that these assets were sold to Quinetiq for a song and the 'old boys club' that bought them made more than a fortune from the government purse..
Probably one the best videos you’ve made so far. Really enjoyed from start to finish. Hats off to you Matt 👍👏🥇
WOW! Just WOW! Amazing video! Really cool stuff! Continue being the best explorer channel on TH-cam! Thanks for the awesome entertainment!
Totally epic! I watched from start to finish (unlike the _extended_ Rudloe vid, that I fell asleep while watching, *just* before you reached the *Red Door* (of Doom?!) and needed to see the rest. I can't believe I haven't subscribed already either, as everything I've seen of you on the other guys channels is also prime viewing. Finally subscribed, 👍 and 🔔!
So surprised the security have not seen your lights.. Great video. 🎉🎉
Guys... no viruses... the chems and all the equipment are used in producing & testing semiconductors... for defense purposes... and yes, pretty much all the chems are toxic... including possibly phosphine, which has been used as a nerve agent. The laser is a 1mW laser for an interferometer Also, your American friend there seems a bit wet behind the ears still... All in all though, still a great vid, as usual!
Thank you, for sharing.👍
Dirk Diggler no problem! Hope it was informative.
The 'American friend' is actually a Paranormal Investigator here on TH-cam & lives in the UK :) He has the largest YT Paranormal channel in the UK.
@@lavenderrainbow5041 did he notice anything, rumour had it some of those areas you wandered around were haunted :-)
I kinda feel like the item you thought looked like a vr or teleportation platform might actually be for cleaning your boots to kill anything on them after walking around the facility but I really don't know. FANTASTIC video m8!
I can't believe the complete lack of security. Such a cool explore. Well done Matt.
Cheers Mathew, been looking forward to this one. The weird noises coming from the portal, the harmonics seem match up with the plastic sheeting. Epic explore ! Sorry that EWF's video got demonized during shooting 👽
The labs are semiconductor fabrication labs - they were (probably still are, in their new buildings) doing research into alternative (better) semiconductor compounds. Some nasty chemicals in the semiconductor industry, hence the fume cupboards and heavy duty ventilation.
I've seen this from Dan's POV & Andrew's POV, now for the best bit...most of all, almost all uncut, as I like it xx
Awesome amazing editing few hours well worth it thank you .
I love your sarcastic nature as well as the exploring content.
Keep up the great work ✌️
Brilliant feature length footage of this highly interesting facility, absolute quality job.
"Danny, you're up to meet the Zombie." LOL Great complex, great explore!
Can’t believe I’ve only just seen this video, it’s brilliant, I live in Malvern and attended The Chase High school which borders along some of these building, we used to see all sorts of stuff happening through the fences.
I worked there for 10 years, saw it all. ;) It's not as mysterious as you might think but it was a great place to work.
@Wills Pridmore what sort of things did you see happening through the fences?
Great Channel Mat! so glad i found this channel, vey interesting stuff. Glad to see this explore as the site has now been levelled. Those secure quiet rooms would be for classified conversations/communications with the top brass. By the looks of some of those labs they would of been developing testing Optics, Lasers...
Judging by the chemical labels, decontamination 'cheat-sheets' and the kit left behind, they were doing research on advanced semiconductors (quantum level), detection optics/sensors and stuff like that. Who needs aliens with Mercury vapour in the air! 😁
Good to look around though! 👍
Malvern hills would be a great place to build a underground base,straight into the hills.....like they do in America they sometime build inside mountains instead of going deep....
Possibly one of the best explores you have done, great video your easily the best on youtube for exploring videos, keep up the great work 👍
Hi Matt it was a fantastic video once again I was gob smacked on all the buildings glad you managed to get in them safe and sound so much stuff within them very high end equipments they used very highly expensive stuff with in them and the best bit was the huge bunker seem to me no worries about how much all this site must have cost at the he time most probably many millions and all sitting there years after empty I’m glad you managed to go on these sites showing us MODs buildings or war bunkers/buildings etc you’re the Best Man
👍👍😊
WOW, so cool to see a true SCIF setup like that. The war room as you called it was setup as a top secret enclave. I wish i could have seen this while it was active. The vault doors and the massive attention to EM (Tempest) and Sound suppression is a dead giveaway to a top secret enclave. And that's no test bunker, its the real deal. Ive seen near identical setups here in the US. Ive never seen one decomissioned like that and just left unguarded. Thats a shit ton of money invested in that one building and the sheer scope of having to certify and commission that SCIF must have been enormous. Awesome video guys
Amazing video Matt, hope you find that Bbc bunker one day ;)
I'm in a roomful of people watching this, and we all pissed ourselves at the 'if you don't lift correctly, Someone will come along and spank your arse' comment. We actually played that bit back several times. Classic Matt
Wow, this was just freaking awesome!
That's not a heater mate. It's a cryo freezer. It can actually get so cold that it will liquify the atmosphere. Also, I'm reasonably sure that the yellow gels were yellow because they have lead in them....for shielding....you know from radiation? And then there's the office chair in the classroom which says "Stan's up stairs" on it. I rather miss Stan Lee don't you? There's loads more but I don't want to load your comment section too much. Cheers...
Nice to hear someone who knows of "Tempest"!
Tempest but who was heard of MOULD
Teapot is no match for my sludge.
Excellent work Matt so pleased you found the war room 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍
Apart from the scale of waste! that was fun. Rooting from the armchair, great video Matt
Best Video yet. I've watched a few videos over the years but this one really tickled a sweet spot. 3 hours with just 1 tea break. Not bad for me 😂
This video was so awesome! Loved it! Iv no idea Mathew how you find these places. So brilliant to actually see inside a place like this. No one would know this existed if it wasn’t for you.
Thank you so much for sharing.
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
Realy great you guys went back ,please mail me a raf weddington box :) Think the black boxes are for stinger missiles.
Isnt it posible the elevator goes down some levels? With the operating base next door it wouldnt make sense tho ..
The et room could be a decompresion chamber too something environmental.
I am sure I did some Business Development for this place. Spelt the same Qinetiq, for Radomes for aircraft.
1:23:34 One of those doors you were talking about being removed because they are more valuable than the building.
👍👍 AWESOME FIND 👍👍 If only the walls of that bunker could talk! 😂
One of your best vids so far. Well done.
45:20 HF or Hydrofluoric Acid Has to be stored or transported through tubing, using a Special kind of Plastic because Storing HF In Glass would Dissolve the Glass and would dissolve most everything else too!. I cannot even imagine what this Thing could be used for but the Etching of Glass with writing would need to be done on Some kind of device and I think that this is -was- IT
Brilliant, the beast got Andrew! !!
Scared the crap out of me.
Great. Watched all 3 hours. Thanks!
Well done Matt .. best yet 🇬🇧👍
I could be wrong, but wasn't Prince Andrew some kind of executive or something high up for QinetiC? I seem to remember a news item years back about his connection with them -'another alien connection maybe, and coincidentally his old house being explored a lot lately.... I bet if you did some digging you'd find the connection.... Hmmm! Great explore by the way. And love your dog!
Serco and QinetiQ are supposedly owned by the Crown. They say they aren't and they are public so have stockholders but the Crown has it's fingers in many pies via anonymous trusts so they probably do. Like when land or buildings go unclaimed or get stolen via the State, everything defaults back to the Crown.
another great video keep up the good work. I have a couple of questions for you I hope you can find time to answer as I know you are a busy explorer first are the booties you got for your dog any good like you I am often in old buildings where there is a lot of broken glass and would like to get something to protect her feet, and the second question is I am guessing you do a lot of research for your explors and a lot of these large government bunkers have been decommissioned and abandoned but my theory is that they are happy for people to see these old cold war bunkers because there has been a program of building deep underground in remote locations lets say maybe places like the remote northwest coast of Scotland and because of their remoteness and depth and modern tech they would survive a nuclear or biological or chemical attack and of course they would have the most up to date protection against a EMP burst i would love your thoughts on this. regards paul
Andrew is so funny in this, convinced he’s going to see radioactive aliens or some other horror.
Three hours... Fuck yeah!!! I've been looking forward to this one, cheers Matt.
As the guy above said, best explore channel on the tubes!!!
I just wish the wankers thumbing down would at least say why LOL
The room at 1:20:00 with the dial 9 to receive intercoms... I was gonna suggest going under the flooring to get in.. and then I saw you just walk through the door next to it. Lol.
The laser is easily researched on google:
The Keysight 5518A laser head, used in Keysight interferometer systems.. apparently it's some measurement device
Hi there a great video 👍 did anyone else see the tail in the dooray at 1.42.40 ? . Or was it just me that's seen it 👍❤️🤩💯😵
2:17:57 they had these doors on the entry to a bank in Lichtenstein. One in one out and the door glass spins around to let you in it out.
Known as a cylinder gate man trap, if anyone wants to Google them
Could be like a lead vest you get in xray department in a hosp. Fantastic feature length vid as well
1.21.48 in , there's a whisper of don't leave me , no don't leave me , I don't think it was Matt. Scary stuff , fantastic . 😊
Really loved watching this. Glad u found the bunker
2:18:15 the revolving door as you call it looks like a standard airlock for decontamination to me, not for trapping unauthorised personnel, that sounds ridiculous!
How would it decontaminate anyone? It does not appear to have any shower heads inside it.
I was waiting to see ET riding up and down the corridors on a bmx 👽.
Another great explore! Drone footage looks awesome!
important documentation . who would have known ,if it wasn`t for you guys .gracias umbres
amazing video, thanks to you. so interesting and very spooky place.
Best urbex video I have ever seen. You guys have some serious balls. I can't even imagine the shit that happened there.
Also I love your nervous laugh after the "welcome to qinetiq.. mutant viruses floor 3" etc. Nobody will ever know if that's a joke or scarily close to the truth 😂
Extraordinary stuff take care and thanks for sharing bro 😊
1:33:54, the first office on your left - I was in that office for about 12 months. I worked at QinetiQ Malvern for 10 years, between 1998 and 2008. The plastic glass tunnel that links the two buildings looks in better condition now than when I was there. I also worked in D Building an old single story WW2 MoD style building, and then also P building (70s style red brick building) which I think has now been demolished. Finally I worked in Alan Turing building which was fairly new in 2008 and that building and Bernard Lovell building are still up as I drove past the QinetiQ site today. I'm shocked that they've knocked down all the old buildings.
Also Neil Entwistle the guy who murdered his family in the US (See That Chapter on TH-cam) he worked at QQ Malvern and worked in Bernard Lovell building whilst I was there.
Good stuff Matt. Still waiting for the quarry video!
All the really interesting stuff...long gone. It will be a retail park in 10 years.
I liked how you looked at the artefacts which revealed the back story of the place, the workers and real people who were there, what they did. The others were mostly f***ng around on their mobile phones, moaning about youtube and making up shite stories. :D
1:20:00 onwards is all Interferometry kit!
I watched one, and now I'm totally into this. It's interesting.
Such a waste. These companies are obviously making far to much money. The amount of plant, electrical and lab equipment abandoned is just criminal. Makes me sick...
i was thinking this too. some major kit in there
Totally amazing that you can just walk around these places undisturbed
This is my favorite video!
Cracking job!
Is it just me or did I miss them, considering they are visually demolishing the place with the skips etc there, how come I didn’t see any plant on site? Not one machine...
Wow great video
Great video, Matt. It's even better at 1.75 speed.
Liked the vlog from Margaret P
1:15:00 The yellow reinforced observation windows could be leaded glass for protection from radiation. Also, the 'lathe' shown earlier may be a machine used to cut paper thin samples of tissue/bone. Not sure if anyone had mentioned these before but I was dying to know myself. Everything looks kind of vintage (state of the art for it's time, I'm sure), possibly early cancer treatment or nuclear medicine research.
What looks a little sus to me is the reinforcement on those observation windows... They were particularly worried about someone breaking through as you don't see this kind reinforcement on other leaded glass lab windows when searching around. Maybe it's because it's vintage and they didn't have the 'bullet proof' glass and polymers of today. Or maybe they were afraid of 'patients' or test subjects, or Greta Thunberg activist psychopaths breaking through and poisoning everyone. Who knows...
15:51 either they were paranoid or the stuff they were working on was that dangerous o.0 Makes you wonder.
Militairy waste and polution in the world is unleveled, and the governments and climate idiots keep on preaching the general public on how we should be ashamed driving a car or taking the plane. Great vid!
That Laser Head is on Ebay and is worth over £1k.😮😮😮
Gutted, I'm from Malvern would have loved to have grabbed a drink with you guys to hear all the stories. Still more to explore in Malvern. Under ground tunnel's under the abbey hotel so I've been told.
Very great and interesting video
Those old school "generic" labs, with the fumehoods, were the kind I worked in throughout my chemistry degree. It would explain all of those filters you saw.
I really enjoyed this absolutely fantastic
That’s my Friday morning sorted, thanks Matt!
I think you'll find the rooms with the holed floors, that filtered (clean, no dust etc) air is blown form the ceiling and flows through the floor (laminair air flow) and is sucked away, filtered and the whole starts again.The chemical enclosures are wet benches with pull down anti-splash shields, anything real nasty would be in sealed enclosures with glove ports etc.
Great stuff. Many thanks.Paul
Brillant vid bloody loved it
yet another interesting video guys .. where did u get the info on this lab reserch center ? and what did the ET bit stand for may I ask ? also extending new year to all . many thanks steve from Shropshire..
It's a boring answer, but every building on the old disused part (with a few exceptions) had a letter. The 'office' building this is attached to was E building, EX was taken by another extension and this made a 'T' shape on the end.... plus it was easy to remember where the little blue men were (green is just government propaganda)
1:18 “you don’t wanna be in the way when my lazer goes off” said by Buzz light Year in Toy Story
Lads. This is brilliant. Have ye heard of Cobbit Hill, Pirbright, Woking, UK.
