He's still around and I think he's watching his footing a bit more!😱🤣

About 30 years ago a soldier told me he'd been down an underground labyrinth at Chatham, which housed huge WW2 stores including aircraft and tank engines? He remembered seeing thousands of boxed weapons too! I just thought he had been exaggerating, but now I'm not so sure?

this has to be one of the best kept places you have been. it must be either very hard to get to or to find or both which is good to stop most of the vandals. Nice one Ian and the team best explore you done in a while :) can't wait 4 next week

That packet of crisps has been there since at least the seventies. Bar codes came into use here in 1979.

I loved the video! I was quite worried about the part at 19:32 though... *DANGER* *Area Contains* *Asbestos* *KEEP OUT*

One of your best, Ian! Needless to say, I'm anxious for Part 2.

Well done Ian your videos are going from strength to strength. Love how you do the intro. This is an epic explore.

Loving the videos, lads, keep it up! I was a bootneck myself and knew nothing about this place, so thanks for the insight.

Excellent production value, mate! It really set the mood!

Thank you for posting this, I was born in Chatham (1972) and bred moved away now but do miss the place as had lovely memories, and it was lovely seeing the sky shots in video one, and i never knew we walked upon all this !! I know much of our military history, the barracks and our naval history through the docks. The Napoleonic forts were always fun as kids but never knew of this. Thank you again for posting.

Amazing just how many of these complexes were built..and still exist, in some shape or form. Can't wait till next week. Cracking stuff.

Excellent Video guys :)

Great video as usual.

great video mate :D

SUper explore mate keep up the great work

Great stuff gents I'm looking forward to the next one :))

Looking at that excuse for a staircase in your trailer, I was reminded of a favourite saying of my late father's: "Fuck that for a game of soldiers!" Yet another quality video. Cheers.

Thanks for posting! By the way, the thing in the battery room is a blower not a generator. Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen gas. This is the reason that the room is enclosed in brick and the lamp fixtures are explosion-proof. It's also likely that the filter assembly you replaced is a hydrogen scrubber.

Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia

Great video, did you notice a date of 1937 as you were filming all the scratched in dates, I think you said 1949. it was just scratched in with larger letters as you are passing with your camera, its all in great condition and great to see it as it almost was, your filming just gets better and better each trip, so looking forward to the next part, thanks for all your hard work chaps and I always look forward to watching your videos....... keep up the good work.

When you got to the communications area, I really thought, for a second, that Adam and Jamie would saunter out. 😄👍

great channel

Wow imagine all the work tunneling & assembling all that Amrco. Amazing.

Great vid as per usual.. I could not help but notice as you walked into the lower level from the stairs, on the right just before you turn right, there was a line up of what looked like recent cans of cider or beer - is it being used to other groups or something? Keeps the vids coming sir.

Rust is the original graffiti and it is doing a pretty good job at destroying that piece of history.. lol

That's got to be a golden gem. Amazing place.

The silver 4" cable tray run along the roof is a lot newer than WW2. Like the ending, very cryptic.

Amazing how dry it is, roll on next friday.

Those odd-looking Bakelite plugs in the office area reminded me of the plugs on an old Dictaphone machine - headphone out, and another socket for the foot control, so you could type what you heard.

booooi, you stepped your production game up, kudos!

Woah that first drone shot looks like an old timey shot of hong kong!

The electric motor looks like it's driving a filtration system possibly to stop fumes from the batteries. The white crumbling panel material is likely to have asbestos content, hope you didn't breath in any dust.

"Hello IKS.. Some gen' for you regarding the Visco plate; seen on the metal box at 8:50. The Visco Engineering Co Ltd, Stafford Road, Croydon, principally manufactured Air Filter, Ventilation, Dust Collecting and Water Cooling Equipment to the aircraft industry, between 1932 and 1944; though this equipment was used elsewhere within the armed forces of the day, as and when required. All the best." :)

well im new to the channel, but nice vids

Great video man! What was the longest tunnel section and how long you reckon it was? Do you ever think that one day when you go down there, you will be greeted by a load of tunnel squatters lol

I just wonder if you had considered adding to the video record by using a 'cave' app and creating a map of the tunnels as you go. This would be useful, particularly when some of the bunkers/airraid shelters are as extensive as this one?

You could be smooth filmmakers Nice Bunker Is this at the side a new wall ?

really amazing! well preserved and dry. at 26:44 you can read RACHE on the wall, funny because that`s the german word for revenge 😉 But im sure someone forgot the L 😂

I saw that, and wondered if somebody had been reading the first Sherlock Holmes story, 'A Study in Scarlet' - that word is scrawled on a wall, and forms a clue.

That machine that is marked visco is whats a variac (probably spelled wrong) it is used to adjust the incoming voltage from the power source to the "load"...... makes a lot sense because of the battery banks

The Visco Engineering LTD device was an air filter, they apparently were in business between 1934 and 1944 according to the archives

keep up the good work guys, very interesting. ps. if it was asbestos it would be to wet to to do you any harm

absolutely great video I think one of the best kept places.thak you guys so much for sharing and documenting the history of England war time past.wish we had things like this here in the states.love to get to England and see these in person.you guys ever think about shirts or hats I would be wanting one if you did thanks again.be safe and keep filming best part of Fridays besides payday

in lamberhurst there is a national trust property called scotney castle, in the gardens there is a quarry , called the quarry gardens, rumour has it that the quarry was converted in to a bunker for thatcher as she once had a flat there

great cliffhanger, lads. The lamp use to be lit by parrifin and the arched supports were used in british coal mines till they were all shut. How do you get into these places. Do you find them, then get permission or what?

the metal can near that white crate looked a lot like an oxygen candle that we used to have in the mines. I also know that in Russian bunkers they used to paint the Lamp word in glow in the dark paint, Radium. Not sure if they did the same over your way but it might make sense as to why its written there.

That battery back up room looks like a later addition the bricks look like flettons and the render is put on over expanded metal sheets.it maybe a cold war upgrade.

I was born in Chatham,served 24 years and remember the dockyard open,never knew this

I thought the video was excellent and the bunker was in good condition. How many Marines was stationed here and where is this bunker.Keep up all your hard work and effort..

I noticed the stairs going down both sides , left and right, must be to facilitate a speedy ingress/egress ?

Hello guys ,do u ever come to Norfolk for exploring ,if you do and I am a builder who works in restoration of all types of barns ,very old property's ,so basically I am used to this sort of thing and with the dangers of rotten materials of where you have to put your feet , anyway if and when you come to Norfolk could I tag along because very people are interested in doing this ,many thanks Mark.

another brilliant explore, not knowing the exact location could it more likely to be a bunkhouse than a hospital?

@ikws what lighting equipment were u using ?

Super

This bunker is quite well preserved. Of all the bunkers you've explored, I wonder if any of them are secretly connected to a train that leads from 10 Downing street or there abouts to spirit Churchill and his cabinet away during the bombing.
