Short notice i know, But if any members are around this neck of the woods on the weekend then this is a good place to visit. There will be a selection of planes Bi planes Spitfire Hurricane and others on show or flying past. Also there is a Rotor station bunker later converted to a nuclear bunker that is very little changed and open for anyone to walk around. Went last year and you really could go anywhere bring a torch some of the light dont work. Sunday/Monday open days i think will check and update later today.
This is about 4 miles from Salcombe in south Devon, Here is a link to show you some info on the bunker.
Best regards Weasel.

Just to confirm it is open on Sunday the 3rd, if anyone is able to make it would be good to meet up. PM me if you are and i will let you have my number.
Best regards Weasel.
 
A few pics from the open day over the weekend, Great to see these two planes up close although the Spitfire did not have a merlin in it so the noise was not quite right. Complete open access to the bunker need to take a torch as half the lights dont work.
