Must be an early one! :lol:

The pictured equipment has been designed during the 1950s and build in the 1960s.

Mike, you're 50% right about it. Some parts of the civil service have been involved. :thumbsup:

Planning is an unnatural process, much better to just get on with things, that way failure comes as a complete surprise instead of being preceeded by a period of worry and doubt

Well, kind of. They "burned" about 4 to 5 billion Deutsche Mark by building this. Sorry, I forgot about it, at least one tea maker was included, too. :mrgreen:

You got it right, Duncan. :thumbsup:

It's one of the 25 ton doors of the old nuclear bunker near the old capital Bonn.

Indeed, before WW2 the railway tunnel has been used to grow mushrooms.
