DUMPY (deep underground military position yellow)is the 3rd section of tunnels at Dover castle constructed beneath annex and casemate in 1942. When the war ended they were kept in use until being abandoned in the mid 50s and left unmaintained until being taken over by the home office in the early 60s and turned into a regional seat of government, where most of Kent would have been controlled if a nuclear strike on London prevented central government from functioning as normal . Its believed that DUMPY was the largest of the 12 RSGs and was protected by the official secrets act until it was finally decommissioned in 1984 and handed over to English Heritage.
Finnally............... First started looking at this with frosty and obscurity about 2 years ago and after putting in the work and figuring out our plan of attack we never got round to going back to finish the job. Then a couple of months ago when we found out English Heritage planned on giving tours to EH members starting Wednesday, and not willing to let all our hard work go to waste, we quickly hatched a plan to get in and get it done.
After a quick test of our route in with Chewbacca we grabbed afew sneaky shots then decided to head back after abit more planning. Unfortunately Obscurity and Chewbacca couldn’t make it, so it was down to me and frosty to crack it......... interestingly, there are a few rooms, corridors, tunnels, and a staircase that are not drawn on ANY of the plans....even the official EH ones!!
Took afew videos and over 100 pics, so heres just afew ........
cheers for looking
