13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ BUNKER IS A UNIQUE BUILDING AS IT IS 1 OF 2 LEFT IN THE WHOLE OF THE BRITISH ISLES OF ITS TYPE. THE OTHER BUILDING SIMILAR IS THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN BUNKER AT RAF UXBRIDGE.

13 GROUP FIGHTER COMMAND HQ IS OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND IT PLAYED AN IMPORTANT PART IN NORTH EAST HISTORY DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. IT'S HARDEST DAY DURING THAT BATTLE WAS ON THE 15TH AUGUST 1940.

PRESENT DEVELOPMENTS:

AS YOU ALL KNOW, BUNKER 13 HAVE BEEN FIGHTING A HUGE BATTLE TO TAKE OVER CARE OF THE HQ BUNKER FOR OVER THREE YEARS NOW. OUR AIM IS TO PRESERVE THIS HISTORICAL BUILDING, RESTORE IT BACK TO IT'S FORMER GLORY AND OPEN IT UP AS A PLACE OF HISTORICAL EDUCATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

BUNKER 13 HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FORMED A RESIDENTS COMMITTEE AND ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM, KEEPING THEM INFORMED IN EVERYTHING WE DO AND MAKING SURE THEY TOO CAN HAVE AN ACTIVE PART IN THE BUNKER'S FUTURE.

BUNKER 13 HAVE ALSO MADE GREAT PROGRESS WITH THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY WHO ARE NOW WORKING WITH US. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY THAT ONCE ESSENTIAL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED, CONTROL OF THE BUNKER WILL PASS OVER TO BUNKER 13.

IN THE MEANTIME BUNKER 13 HAVE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT AT EVENTS, PROMOTING THE BUNKER, IT'S HISTORY AND THE IMPORTANCE OF IT'S FUTURE. WE HAVE GATHERED A HUGE FOLLOWING OF SUPPORT. HOWEVER THE MORE SUPPORT WE GET THE MORE IT INSPIRES US TO GO ON.

SO WE ARE ASKING PEOPLE NOW TO ADD THEIR NAMES TO THE EVERGROWING LIST SO WE KNOW WHO IS SUPPORTING US.

IF YOU WISH YOU CAN ALSO SEND US AN E-MAIL EXPRESSING YOUR SUPPORT. WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND WE STRIVE TO ANSWER EACH ONE PERSONALLY.
