Hi Paul,

Nice photos 8O

Is the 617 is still used today by Guernsey Telecoms :?

Interesting that its a mirror image to the 3 in Jersey and 1 In Alderney :o

Malcolm :wink:

:idea: Any chance of you putting up some photos of the Naval Headquarters linked V142 and M172 :D

Hi Malcolm
As far as I'm aware it has finally been decommissioned, but was in use until the early 90's. Luckily we now have unlimited access to this bunker as the new owner is interested in conserving it as is and has no intentions of using it for anything else. I shall post some pics of MNO/Seeko Kanalinseln shortly.

Regards
Paul

O.K.Here's some pics of MNO Kanal Inseln. Does anyone know the purpose of the steel frame mounted underneath the left hand ventilation pump? Something mounted on top that needed a switch which was fitted to the wooden block on the side.

Regards
Paul

Hello Paul

Good to see that not only Jersey branch can restore bunker very well ,
my compliments for the good job , BTW I have looked for the steel frame
but I could not find anything in the manuels , maybe some protection for
the reserve filter .

Regards Jos

I agree, the Naval HQ bunker is truely outstanding :D

Loved the video interview of the former Oberleutnant Willi Hagedorn walking around the bunker (before it was restored in the 80's) and describing each rooms functions which then fades to as it looks today 8O and every detail is spot on :D

Shame he passed away before it was first opened after being restored :(

Malcolm :wink:

Thanks Guys
It's always good to hear positive feedback. We are hopefully making headway in Guernsey. We have been slow compared to you lot in Jersey, but seem to be making progress now. We should be starting on the two storey command bunker at Beau Sejour shortly.

Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,
Can you pass my greetings on to John Wallbridge, we (Martin Hobo and I) visited the V142 last summer when we returned from Alderney.
The bunker is really nice indeed but it was a shame we could not enter the M172.
Keep on doing the good work.
And I hope to visit the CI soon, maybe even next year.....
Jack Koorneef.
