I live quite close to Fauld in Staffordshire and a few months ago we managed to get into the remaining tunnels, there is still a vast underground network of tunnels down there, we even got behind a wall into the old section which has blast damage and roof falls. See the full report on it here http://www.ukurbex.co.uk/raf-fauld-high-explosives-tunnels-staffordshire/
Great pictures UKurbex and thanks for the link ! shame the site has gone back into hiding !
