I served as USAF security police here and it's really amazing to see the old place again after 30 years. Especially having seen it every day of my life for just about three years straight. Your video is so well done to serve as a memento for being familiar with every nook and cranny of the place having patrolled it regularly. Your tour guide is exceptionally knowledgeable and covered so many details that I remember. He is a really expert tour guide with intimate knowledge of Pine Tree's history. I left a personal mark here which maybe I'll go look for some day.

Very interesting video. As a member of the USAF in the mid '60s I was was at USAF High Wycombe from 1966 through 1967. I lived on the base and worked in the underground daily during those years and am quite familiar with what the "bunker" looked like at that time. The last refurbishment documented in your video completely changed the the place. The only thing not changed was the above ground emergency generator facility and one of the above ground buildings used for offices in the '60s. Thanks for posting this video which brought back pleasant memories of my two year stay in Buckinghamshire.

Uh oh, low quality video, come back in an hour or so and it will clear up.

Amazing

This is a classic one Matt cheers.. The security with pc's and the Net etc.. when MS DOS came out it meant "DIRTY OPERATING SYSTEM" Then years later they brought out C++ that left quite a few back doors open.

The Brown sign at the entrance is genuine, not a disguise, Daws Hill was used by the RAF in the early 90s as there was'nt enough office accommodation at RAF High Wycombe. The contracts branch was there in the above ground office block. Great video by the way

Quality content! BBC got nothing on this. Thank god for KZfaqrs! Diolch man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Can you imagine if you'd actually managed to sneak into here during that night? You'd have been mind-blown hahaha

I didn't know there was a sequel to this. Glad I found it.

I agree with the comments that they may have had extra security to keep an eye on you, but I think they have also been extremely clever checking you was there at the begining. You was never going to get turned away as you one of the reasons they habe done this . As you have provided a great advertising block for them to bring in revenue in the future. They knew you would come to the open day and also post this video of your visit to the bunker. The tour guide was so well clued up on the bunker he must be ex-military he held an amense amount of relevant and accurate information. Keep up the good work Matt and Merry Christmas :)

Wow! 😮 Never seen such type of bunker before…

Thanks SecretVault. It makes me so happy to see old ww2 history not vandalized like so many are. I hope they keep it on Tour, to preserve it for centuries, for the next generations to see.

Great explore, thank you for taking me along. You're still a cheeky bastard ;)

Matt. You may or may not know that tonights ITV Midsummers Murders was filmed at Daws Hill Bunker and compound - At approx 1:00hr and 1:45 hr in (of MM) you will see familiar areas of your past visit and video. The Midsummers Murders episode is called "The Incident at Cooper Hill", series 18, ep02 13th Jan 2016.

superb video, thank you so much for sharing!

Many thanks, as said in the first one l used to work on the USAF base 80"s-90"s. Really enjoyed, l have commented, thumbs up & shared.

Thank you Matthew, that is amazing, good that English Heritage have interest and thank you to the school Bursar.

Thanks Matt for going back for the tour. I've been waiting to see what was in there since the first video you posted of scouting out the property in the wee hours of the night. Go Secret Vault!!!

Thanks very much Matthew, fantastic bunker and lots of information, thank you for making it happen too, as I'm sure you're actions must have contributed to having these tours, i think they certainly did a great tour 👍🙂

Matt I think you are right about it is Mark Selwood who gave the tour, as at the beginning listening to him I thought I recognised his voice, as he did a WW2 re-enactment at Pendennis Castle in 2018.

That’s a good job Mathew enjoyed watching that chap

Funny when you started hitting switches on the control panel.

Hi Matt, a very cool look at the interior of WW2, Cold war bunker. I must say they didn't seem to hide anything and were quite forthcoming with knowledge of what each room was used for and various different parts that were used to run the bunker. Even though you were herded around like sheep you still got some great footage, brilliant video Matt and thank you for sharing. xx

Excellent they must have thought highly of u because they gave you a VIP security. Places like that still out there mind-blowing

I went on this tour today Feb 2020 - really interesting - highly recommended.

Great thanks just discovered your channel so going through your old videos 👍👍

Brilliant video. Thanks

Truly a Secret Vault cheers Matthew!

Mat thank you for posting video . I lived in whycombe for 5years and was interested in what was underground VERY SAD to see the damp had moved in and I wonder how far they will let it go Keep safe and keep em posted.

Thanks for the video Matt .

GREAT VIDEO TO WATCH THANKS

Those bald headed guys from MI are keeping a close eye on you, they stuck to you like glue throughout the whole thing!

Good on you Matt you are a true hero for what you are doing on this Video well done and keep us up to date with what’s going on And thank you for bringing this Video on Merry Christmas Brother take care and Stay Safe

Incredible walkthrough Matt thanks for going to the trouble of filming in 4K.

Thank you to an amazing interesting video👌👏👍👍✌😎

yay part 2 :) well done matt

Very good video...I agree everyone was being rushed a bit, Mark Selwood certainly did his homework .

Fantastic, thanks for posting this, I lived at the American school in the late 90s, and had heard of the bunker, but had no sense of the scale of it.

Brilliant entertainment if thats the right way to describe it, on a more serious note it is good that people like yourselves are able to document in word, photos and videos our wartime defence history around the UK, your videos are most welcomed and all time, effort, and dedication you put in are most appreciated, thank you for sharing Matt, take care and a Happy Christmas to you...

A very interesting video 👍👍

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Awsome video. You are the reason they opened it up to the public. Thats to be noted for sure lol .

Cheers on that one ,finally ! So enfield makes bikes, doors, etc xD

i enjoyed the tour. really interesting.

What a tour thanks

Challenge for you, we have a small early warning system, near me, I'm sure it's underground because of the air vents. I've always wanted to see in side, it's just one building on the top. I can't find any info on line. It did have a radar when I was a kid. I don't have the coordinator, but it's between skipton north yorkshire and Earby, on the back roads, west Rd.

Quality video Mat. It makes you think what the hell was going in side the bunkers.. Cheers man

So glad the school did these tours. I wish MOD bases did this, not to see the actual secrets that protect us, but allow us to see what our taxes fund. We are and it is our MOD and thus any land they own is ours. MOD we fund by taxes work for us to protect us, not defend against us too.

One more to tick off the list. Really enjoyed this. Secretly I like your first video which clearly puts them in a bad light! Thought I recognised the loud security guards voice!

Iv seen this one before on my main account before KZfaq deleted it 😔 Just came from watching your RAF Daws Hill Explore yesterday Brilliant to see 2160p for this one thanks Matt If anyone is watching this I recommend going back to watch the Explore before this Don’t go wandering off he says what does Matt do 😂 I noticed security was keeping a close eye on you inside the bunker The bald guy with glasses on in the black coat in front of you is security I bet I think there keeping a eye on me 😂 1:40:00 will be back in morning to watch the rest 📌 Really enjoyed watching this so happy you got to go inside the bunker. Thought the tour guide man was very knowledgeable about the bunker probably got brief on it all. Private tours would be good I think Love the coming soon trailer at the end would be nice to see it back

The mother bunker! Makes chilmark bunker look small. Thanks secret vault! Keep em coming!!

U was well clocked Matt from the moment u was onsite. I really loved this video that bunker is amazing. I’m always left wondering what didn’t u see on that site........keep up the great vids

Really enjoyed this video

nice work as always matt. fully agree it did seem somewhat rushed and they seemed a touch paranoid about keeping the herd in one place! they need to relax a bit. your quite right in what you say that the more "serious" explorer/history buff would want/require a lot more time to fully document that site especially as it seems to have a surprising amount of equipment still in situ and a lot of it still looks like with a little fettling could be brought on line. they have as ian would say a "golden gem" ™ lets hope they keep and improve the access.

Really great video thank you and the guy doing the tour. I would like to take a look but your on the other side of the world. Some of the rooms you went into had red strobe lights in the roof and gas ports. Most places like that have smoke detection systems which trigger the release of FM200 halon gas. The normal sequence is if the system detects combustion produces sirens go off and the red lights start to flash. Depending on the site you may have 60 seconds to get out before the room fills with gas and your asphyxiated. There is normally a button to abort or delay the release. A gas bottle of FM 200 costs about $200k and I've seen them go off because a computer system blew a power supply or someone working in the room forgot to isolate the system and brazed some pipe on an AC unit. I would not want to be the person who did that. Most sites have multiple bottles of that gas so a false alarm could involve more than $200k of gas release. I've also seen a very old system used with and early Cray supercomputer which had tanks of CO2 bolted around the wall which would be released in the event of a fire.

Wow fantastic video mate

56:17 that guy was like “what the hell is wrong with you ?” 😆😆🤣🤣🤣

Think you answered every question he threw out! Top knowledge maty

thank you again matt in joy watch and did think was over cowed there in people .now goin have nap then goin to watch the blackmail one next vid .thank you matt

Good tour.

If there was a Do not Touch button, I bet you would press it lol Awesome mate..

Provide public access to a special historic place and you remove the security issue it causes.

I live 5 mins from here we still pop in there on a night just for laughs .. been caught a couple of times but was more fun when getting chased and we no more places to hide and they still not a clue .. this tour misses out loads there is so much more to see ...

Great Job!! We the public/taxpayers should be able to have access to these places unless they are condemned and unsafe!! Nice work as usual. Thanks for the videos keepem coming. I am stuck in the US so it is nice to see all the history you have over there... Hey Matt you think you will be hitting any old castles I really dig them old structures ......

Great Video👍

thanks Matt great vid

Really interesting Mathew thanks for doing this. I didn’t know this place existed I did a job at the RAF High Wycombe Walters Ash site in the old bunker there before the new NATO a bunker was built up,there ... they used to have lots of underground passageways connecting the bunker with a big 6 storey building .... coming out o father tunnel one day into the basement stairwell of the big 6 story building I was treated to a very nice upshot of some ladies skirt as she stood above me ... very nice ... I always got good up shots in all of the bunkers I worked..

You are such a rebel, good video

Good guide, I imagine they will do more tours and not put that to waste

I think you should get commission off the the tour for bringing it to their attention thanks for your time editing this video

Good job matt

You parked in the overflow carpark Matt 🤣🤣 you could of drove all the way up 🤣🤣

You must of been sporting a Woodrow Wilson during this.

I'd say theirs way more to that bunker, they probably only showed yous half of it, the way they were guarding it,, excellent vid matt 👍

Realizing this was a better way to film this bunker after all you previously went through to get this point, I could NOT handle this tour, too many people and just not enough freedom to really explore, Great video but yeah i guess i don;t personally like big crowds let alone a small crowd in a tight space. Just the slow pace alone would drive me into a frenzy.

Great video, Kelvedon Hatch just let you wonder around and only charge £5 or 10 to take all the photos or videos you want, they ask for a cut of anything they are used for which makes you money which is fair enough given the total freedom to take your time. Security love people like you as it would be boring as hell for them otherwise. You will get a surprise one day fiddling with those buttons, leave them alone 🤣

Well done Matt. I expect your antics had a big inpact on them opening up the bunkers.

The tour guides hair is fascinating 👌

Whenever I have to take a tour to see a place like this I always wonder if someone on the tour with me actually worked at that location.

Awesome to see you finally got into the now infamous Daws Hill bunker Matt! Odd side note, I used to work at Dover Castle, and the chap that checked your ticket at the beginning worked at a lot of the events that we used to put on. Is this place related to English Heritage some how ?

Yet another cracking video, sincere thanks from me.

Hi i worked on a new strike command control bunker in high Wycombe in about 1983 is the bunker still in use .it was a incredible place completely self contained and 24hr manned

to bad it was rushed but i loved it keep it up matt

The laxative properties of bunker exploration on this man... ;>

Very imformative, great tour, great video. Glad you got in. Shame the dog handler wasn't there, you could've said hello.

Great video. The quality was not bad.

Oh dear ...... you were recording. I laughed thank you for that.

That security man was watching you lol I cannot believe you have been there twice and had 2 craps lol 😂 Awesome video buddy thanks for sharing . How much was the tour buddy if you don’t mind me asking 👍👊

Bloody hell given the time this was constructed and the upgrades it’s had and how advanced it was then you just imagine what they have nor . And they will definitely have bunker now nuclear threat or not

By the way you were watched and herded around I suspect they hid a lot from you,where’s the dormitories,canteen etc🤔Still great vid Mat and thanks to you we got to see some of it.Well done👍

Well done though mate, fair play

You just have to leave your stink there. Just like at the masonic hall. Love it man

This was cracking, I think that security guard was bricking it in case you went where they didn't want you to go. Sure the chap in denims and navy zip hoody that seemed to lurking at the back was plain clothes security watching you.

Whats there still so secret that it cant put behind locked door and let payed People Wonder the rest of the bunker without multiple quides and security on behind their back?

The man in the black coat was sure on your butt. I was going to call him a Gentleman but I am sure that this is not the case, lol! Great video too! Thanks for taking me along xx

So are tours now run on a regular basis or was this a one off?

jealous of the places you've been getting to. Very jealous of your QuintiQ excursion. If you read this, maybe get in contact again.

Ha rhey got their eye on you for sure.

secrecy is a stock in trade ! wow these revelations just keep on coming !

ive been inside kelvedon hatch , this bunker looks bigger
