ABC Wednesday: "N" is for Nuclear bunker... #Trabant


Now ABC Wednesday necessitates nothing less than an "N"A scary "N" for a nuclear bunker- Hack Green "secret" nuclear bunker in Cheshire. And here is the world's last military / police Trabant from the DDR (East Germany)- how time has changed since the cold war. It even has its own Instagram account (Militarstreife Trabant).

The bunker was a sinister secret once upon a time but is now open to the public. For more information you can read an article I wrote for Radio Active magazine back in 2003. I was there again for the first time since last Sunday to share a stand with a friend who was selling military surplus clothing and boots. I was selling some vintage radios and offshore magazines, badges etc. but, as I suspected, it was the wrong market for me. Still good fun though although very intimidating to see so many military people about actually selling rifles etc. The radio amateur people selling communications receivers and accessories were more reassuring though.

  2. There is one here from the Cold War era that was meant to be a fallout shelter for key government officials. It's been turned into a museum of the Cold War.
