I am fortunate enough to live by an air national guard base here in my state. I got to hear/see those wonderful machines very often.
IKS > Historical exploration the right way.
It's so interesting to have this around you. I live on long Island, NY US and have frequently scouted out sites like Camp Hero at Montauk point, since the 80's. Spent many hours at an old Telephunken radio site in Sayville ... Great stuff folks
The guard shacks and pill boxes appear to have been made with a great deal of economy!
The old Sony radio bleep that takes me back atleast the van is fully retro
Y'all kill me always talking about asbestos and totally ignore the lead paint all around you lol
It's good to see chain home still serving as cell phone towers! I always love seeing the old technology. I never thought that the chain home Towers might have had aircraft avoidance beacons during the war.
What you’ll find is old radar sites were built on the best sites, when a network are about building its network they often use old survey maps and learn you don’t have to look much further then just get a map of all the chain radar stations to get an suggestion of great sites. It’s almost like someone did the work for you 80 years ago.
I know this site well, there are two large concrete horizontal sliding doors on runners, large spiral metal staircase going down 30ft to the main control rooms. The doors are rusted shut but I found another emergency exit a distance away to access it via long tunnel.
Back of the toilet pan is a rag and putty joint, clean, paint the joint, put the putty round, paint, wrap strips of rag round, tie up with string, job done
@ 22.09, the lovely crackle of re-heat.
It's just like putting a history puzzle together! Great finds fella's.
The 1940's NAAFI cup is an amazing find at 16:55
Another great explore I like the pit stops so funny with ration packs Chris always gets so defensive when any one complains about the food hilarious 😂
You shud have tasted it 🤮
@@StevEDC_UK 🤣😂
Nothing wrong with out of date compo
@@Jason-io5bu those nuts are an exception lol
@@StevEDC_UK you always say you love nuts
Another great explore thankyou lads
There is a good chance when the site was active it wasn't actually in a wood.... With all those concrete bases the farmer will of kept off it.... A bit like on the airfields where drains etc are in the field the farmer leaves that area..... Bit like RAF Burn with the underground bunker..... farmer never goes near it . Excellent vid, guessing this was after you left me.
Yea lol
Love the Video Ian, the dog 🐕 was cute how, he or she went into the bunker was funny 😁🍻
Hi guys, OMG Ian you nearly made me spray my tea on my laptop when you did your pheasant impression, my word what are you like 😂😂. A very curious site that last one wasn't it ?. Thanks for sharing and for the smiles, much love. xx💖🤘
Yeah that was funny.
😂😂😂
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling 😂🤘
You should get some decals for the van for a bit of channel promoting plus you’ll look less suspicious 😉
If you drive a scruffy transit, in the middle of the Hare Coursing Season, in Norfolk... you're gonna get a tug.
@@patrickbeane4826 less of the scruffy lol
thanks for the video I loved it
Nice one that bog was made 10 mile from me nice to see ace film folk
Brilliant explore and all those rations to munch through. Well jealous lol. You'll have to come to Cornwall.
In seaton cerew and Billingham Teesside near the coast there is small buildings ( peep holes ) from WW2....And in the North Yorkshire moors there's a WW2 prisoner of war camp.... Great to learn the history .... It's called Eden Camp...Not far from Whitby....
Cracking video mate 👍
In the video Chris made the comment several times that it would not make sense for a road to just stop if there was nothing there and of course in this video that turned out to be logical because you obviously did find some very interesting remains there. However just for future reference keep in mind that there is precedent for locations that were hidden or camouflaged to ensure that the trails and roads that led to them continued on well past them and that was make it difficult for aerial reconnaissance to pinpoint the location of the hidden sites by simply looking to see where a road stopped. In some cases there were paved roads or Jeep trails that basically wound around areas but actually led to nothing in particular and were built & maintained simply as an effort to confuse enemy aircraft and aerial image interpreters.
Granade's Ian they go to the back side of the blast wall as fast as they could!!
IKS secatures are really needed guys !! Thorns become no problem then lol
I wouldn't describe Ian's beard as a Pheasant. More a Grouse, a Famous Grouse. boom boom tischh
IKS we are watching you 👀💯
Brilliant guys!! god I wish we could reverse the gradual destruction of these precious sites.if only people had some forethought before these sites were destroyed 😞😞😞
Three men prancing around the woods in camo , one has a large beard , in America you would be vaporized by some laser guided 2 million dollar missile, the video footage would then end up on TH-cam , how ironic !!!
The reason for getting so much attention in norfolk is because you are driving a white van, travellers are always driving white vans and nicking stuff lol
they have newer vans lol
Escape from a Cold Damp Shelter ;))
Anti Air positions. They would have more vision if close to a hedge line. Several platforms looks like a AA Battery location.
I suspect the old white smiley transit with the banana engine being the favourite mode of transport for the often ginger usually guilty of something "travelling community" might explain the plod pulls. I would assume the same if I saw you on the roads. Just scream "D'yer like daargs?" in the coppers face next time it happens. They'll either laugh or pepper spray you.
the modern bricks built up iinside the pillarbox are covering up a tunnel system entrance
Oh I like that. Like the bungalow that was a bunker entrance. Don't think so but nice idea.
at 16 mins is one of the buried reserves,then other is nearby also heavily overgrown
Great vid guys! Steve’s camo is the best!! Can u put a link to where he bought the jacket?
steves is current mtp camo - loads on ebay -
I reckon Ian would be shot in five minutes then Chris in fifteen minutes and Steve would escape with his Camo choice 👌🏻
There is nothing more suspicious than three blokes in cammo looking suspicious. What is the worst that can happen? Tell you to do one or use you as mating stock for the locals. Enjoyable if just for the paranoia. Surely there must be old MOD maps from WW2 and after detailing locations etc? Why did the cops stop you this time?
Better be careful, hanging out with The Secret Vault too much will get you on the police lists! 😂
lol
Yeah, probably right. Followed him for a while but he seem to be cop baiting at times.
AF crockery usually had Per Ardua Ad Astra, latin for through adversity to the stars
The shells could have been used by farmers as fertiliser in years gone by either for organic means or just because processed chemical fertilisers were in short supply.
I think it's more likely the way you dress that draws so much attention to you
I Think your Reg has been tagged on ANPR
Yup. Probably from your Yorkshire power station jaunt.
yer i said at the time if i keep getting pulled time to sell the van lol
And from the Sellafield one and the Power Station. The cammo and paranoia makes them an easy target.
You are known to the police, so they are watching you.
Does anyone know of locations in the north east of England to visit?
If you had a old 200 tdi landrover discovery (without a rusty chassis as they are known for that ) with a small rice horse box to put your camping stove and bunk beds you would be far less conspicuous .No one would batter a eyelid .perfect stealth caravan .if you got rumbled though you would have to pretend to be horses in the box or say you have come to buy one .but got lost ?
It's the folks from Folkestone
20:55 the car stereo?
Three men driving around slowly in an old transit wearing camo is the pretty suspicious at the best of times. Can't you just wear civi's?
we could but why - nothing wrong or illegal about camo- as we said before hard wearing and cheap :-)
@@chrisstacey1984 it's the whole thing of not putting yourself in the situation to be pulled over. As an example, if i were to walk around a rough area waving a £50 note around and got mugged, it's wrong i got mugged, but i didn't help myself by waving the £50 note around to begin with
Don't think I'm knocking you though, i love your content 👍
One of the other clips I couldn’t believe how close they got to a power station dressed in ex military gear with no one questioning them. 😁
29:17 Ian disturbs a mouse!!
Looks like a prisoner's of War camp site look those up Ian!!! Check out Capt Matt's latest Golden Gems!!!; )
White transit and 3 blokes in camo they think you are out hare coursing thats why you will be getting pulled.
First to comment.....great show folks!
I'm only here for Steves dog`!
Jesus
Police should have reasonable belief you may have or may commit a crime in order to stop you and ask your details. They appear to be acting more the east German police before the wall came down.
INTRESTING BUT MISTERIOUS PLACE YOU DEFFONATELY MUST FIND OUT ABOUT IT. IT COULD BE A TRAINING PLACE FOR TROUPS POSS... ???
Have you travel to Denmark before??😊
Top Tip .when you were crossing that open field you should have run flat out in zig zags so the farmers wouldent take accurate aim .something to take on board next time.!otherwise a fine body of men will be just fine body's of men .Those Norfolk farmers don't Take Prisoners .Look at Tony Martin .?
We have seen enough pig pens..thanks
We?
well a police marker on your number plate then well done give your details as soon as you can
nothing to hide so we have no reason too - we are always honest and say what we doing or where we are going - not giving details etc just makes them think you have something to hide tbh -they did mention they pulled it as it was a long way from home they thought it was on false plates
Speak to the pig farmers round thecorner they showed us about a few years back.
Over-thinking and paranoia, creating problems that don't exist.
lol
Google comments hes done
you need a drone...
Got 2 folk ;) bit windy that day though I believe
Cops chasing lock down breakers we know there game we ain't stupid
Filmed in 2019 lol bit out of date folk
Good thing you didn't have your Russian gear on LOL
Stop the bullet bouncing around lol just give the camera to chris an be done
