Re: Evreux Airbase: tunnels

Hello Larry,
There were also a few anecdotes told about what was found at other bases, jets and gold and everything but Santa's workshop, but I was impressed with the lack of embellishment concerning Evreux: it was a first hand account centred around the known positions of sealed storage bunkers. The sergeant also said he was glad he wasn't working at Dreux during the redevelopment as they had 'real problems' with buried stores, including what he described as 'weird bombs'. This part was second hand information so should be treated as such, but may strike a chord with anyone researching the history of that base.

ClinA-78, thanks, that site is new to me. It looks very interesting and I will dig in it.


Bruce
