Bentley Priory – Defending Britain from Nazi & Nuclear Threat

A podcast series unveiling the exciting stories of a top secret Battle of Britain and Cold War Bunker. Bentley Priory Museum is currently running a project to investigate the history of its underground bunker and how it was a vital tool for the RAF. For the first time a group of volunteers have been collecting oral histories from RAF, WAFF & ROC personnel who played key roles in the operation of Bentley Priory’s Bunker.
