I live in Wargrave about 5 minutes away from Warren Row and RSG6, I grew up in Wargrave I was born in 1975 so knew all about the bunker and have a real interest in it. As a child it was a sort of open secret everyone knew about it, but this was post ‘Threads’ and everyone pretty much realised it was pointless and it would be game over. I became familiar with the Spies For Peace story about 10 years ago and have tried to research it as much as I could, but it’s not easy - so thankyou so much for this, truly fascinating. Even in the late 80s when the MOD had pretty much given up on RSG6 as remotely feasible, security was pretty much a joke. My older brother would go up and it was easy to get in and wander about inside, but he used to say there were documents and maps everywhere still - I wish he had grabbed some of the stuff. My father in law worked there as an electrician right before the MOD sold it off to private owners, basically condemning it. He said it was terrible, constantly flooding, electrics terrible, if it rained water would come in - he said you couldn’t survive a rainy afternoon let alone world war 3 in it!
