Nice people running the military bookshop, but won’t allow me to go down as they have lots of artefacts stored there pending refurbishment to make a museum. However at least I got further than last time. The sloping tunnel remains very familiar, although the steps and smooth concrete sidewalks were not there when we opened the place in summer 1965.1 commentsIvan	Enterprises at MGSC, games afternoon 1967296 viewsMr Roy Tatton on left, Jill Thackray centre front, poss Eddie Eichmann on right?
