Britain's What's On Event Guide
World War 2 Decoy Bunker Tour
Heritage Open Day: Step back in time and follow in the footsteps of the service people whose job it was to try and get bombed. Volunteers will explain how the bunker was used and tell the story of its operation. The bunker at Moors Valley was used during the Second World War to power and control lights to mimic the nearby RAF airfields at Hurn and Ibsley, including a 1km flare path whose location has been identified. This is an opportunity to take a closer look at the bunker which is not usually accessible to the public.
Uncover a top-secret operation involving decoys and deception to direct enemy attention away from wartime RAF airfields, and learn about the scale and importance of Decoy and Deception Techniques to the war effort.
Dogs welcome on leads only.
