... Spotted on a recent trip to Glencoe, pointed at Ballachulish which is about a mile to the north. https://goo.gl/maps/9YyII maybe the property over the road is using it? On the subject of noticing something unusual whilst driving, I was driving along, minding my own business, when this caught my eye: https://goo.gl/maps/f8YUW I wasnt even looking for it! On further inspection it was not locked, so I took the opportunity. |

A similar place is the "Secret Nuclear Bunker" in Hack Green: http://www.hackgreen.co.uk/ These facilities were in use up to he 1990s, all the more remarkable when you look at how primitive they are. The phone exchange in Hack Green is electromechanical so it wouldn't be affected by a nuclear EMP, and the signs in the operations room showing the war state (DEFCON in US, I forget what we call it here) are signs illuminated by incandescent bulbs. They have a couple of nuclear bombs (minus warhead, of course) and what struck me is how small they are compared to what you see in the movies (cf. Dr Strangelove). Well worth a look if you're in the area. -- (\_/) (='.'=) Bunny says: Windows 10? Nein danke! (")_(") |

"Frankfurt (AP) - Four Soviet soldiers lost while on manoeuvres in Czechoslovakia sold their tank to a pub owner for two cases of vodka, then were found sleeping it off in a forest two days later. The tank was nowhere to be found. Authorities later learned that the publican had broken up the tank and sold the pieces to a metal-recycling centre, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported at the weekend. The article was by Mr Ota Filip, a Czechoslovan emigré author. Yesterday he said the episode occurred during Warsaw Pact exercises in Czechoslovakia last year. He only learned of the incident in a letter from reliable sources bought to him by "friends" three weeks ago. Mr Filip's article quoted a report by police in eastern Bohemia. The tank crew got lost as darkness was falling. It was cold, rainy, and foggy and they were running out of vodka, since rations had been cut as part of a Soviet campaign against alcoholism. Around 9pm the tank drove a into a village where the only pub was still open. The crew parked in a shed behind the building and went into the pub as it was about to close The soldiers had money for one bottle of vodka, but got three more after the tank commander plunked down his gold wedding-ring. At 11.15, the crew was spotted leaving the pub with two cases of vodka and more than 61b of herring and pickles. The men were found slumbering in a forest two days later. They told local authorities and the Soviet military police they did not know what had happened to the tank. The first clue turned up 10 days later, when the head of a metal-recycling plant said he had just bought a large amount of high-quality, sawn-up steel from a pub owner. Investigators soon found the shell of the tank in the shed behind the pub. The proprietor told the authorities he had acquired the tank for 24 bottles of vodka, with herring and pickles thrown in "as a gesture of comradeship". Mr Filip said the fate of the pub owner and the Soviet soldiers was not known. In the 1960s, Mr Filip wrote several novels that angered the Czechoslovak authorities. In 1970 he was jailed, then freed after 15 months and later allowed to emigrate." -- ================================================== ====== Please always reply to ng as the email in this post's header does not exist.
