Purely by accident we ended up today at the Kelvedon Hatch Regional Government HQ nuclear bunker - http://www.secretnuclearbunker.com/
Fantastic way to spend a few hours in a fully populated (all equipment pretty much still there) cold war bunker. This is where the Prime Minister of the UK would have gone in the 1950s should everything have gone a bit nasty. Piles of old Geiger Counters & stuff everywhere - old Tektronix & other scopes, just tons and tons of stuff. Operating theatres, dormitories, canteens, plot rooms, regional & government control centres - everything down to old DEC, Honeywell & other kit - decomissioned in 1992 or thereabouts, so a huge amount of computing history there too. 600 people could be sealed in... Really fun. I did find one bit of kit with Dekatrons and an "Airburst" detector & rangefinder which had edgelit displays - took photos and will upload those when my wretched children return the camera USB cable... Recommended for everyone - fascinating place... Cheers Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
