Bunkers an stuff

We have one where I live , it would be the oldest Battery in the bristol Channel if the council had not buried it in the 1960s,

Portishead “Battery Point” ,has the remains of a “Armstrong Gun” emplacement ,including underground magazines /stores etc, but sadly all filled in by he council, and they wont uncover it,
there has been a actual fort there since elizabethan times, and in the civil war it fired on royalist ships,
the last use was in the 2nd World War, when it was fitted with ex WW1, 6″ Naval Guns , My grandad remembers the days just after the war when all the kids went up there and the army put on a show, using up most of the amunition, I did suggest to the concil to uncover some of the remains, and i had full backing from the chief county archaeologist, But as Usual the “TREE Huggers ” won the fight , and as with the past 50 years all you can see is the very tops of the concrete gun pads, and grass, grass and more Grass.

As for aircraft wasnt a complete FW190 found in east germany in the remains of a Hanger that the ruskis had Blown Up/Demolished before they pulled out in the 1990s??, I wonder HOW complete it was “Before ” they blew up the Hanger/Bunker, also heard rumours of one in east germany next to a airifeld full of german aircraft, but it was left alone because of “booby ” traps ,
CAN ANYONE COROBERATE THIS STORY ???
