Field Place Mystery - Secret Bunker or Not?

Hi,

Was anyone involved with the RADAR station at Poling England as I beleive it was manned by Canadian Technicians? Below is a website showing an article regarding a country house near where I live.

There is supposed to be a underground bunker in the grounds that was used by the RAF with tunnels leading out, many people plus kids say that they have been down there just after the war but no one seems to be able to get proof.

So it's over to you.

Station X aka Bletchley Park is meant to have a secret tunnel leading from the grounds to the vicinity of the local pub. No one has ever found it!

...are likely pipe chases to carry hot water from a central heating plant to the outbuildings.

Hi,

Thank you for your ideas, but I doubt if the tunnels that are supposed to be here are anything to do with heating. The only buildings near by are barns and stables which only in later years have been converted.

You can contact these people at http://www.subbrit.org.uk/

They document just about anything underground in Britain. Whilst there is nothing about your particular site on their website they might be able to find an answer. Many underground bunkers that were part of the "auxiliary units" are being reported these days. These people were the stay behind units that in case of German invasion would hide and then attack from the rear. Their bunkers were kept secret, even post war.

So what? There is a rumour of a tunnel. There are tunnels under Parliament Hill in Ottawa, but they are nothing more that steam pipe passeges.

The old RAF and RCAF guys are leaving us by the dozens each week. And they aren't talking about RADAR. There is an old timer in my neighbourhood who has only recently come out to say he worked on RADAR in the war. They were strictly and mercilessly indoctrinated in the workings of secrecy and national security. He sees me in uniform, getting my boy from school, and he tells me little stories. But he'd never disclose which bases he was on or what was there.
