Great video . We've seen inside the Q site at Nare Head.

Another really well produced and informative film. Clearly supported by a huge amount of detailed research. Well done!

Having spent many holidays on the Lizard, it was interesting to hear how many structures that survive slotted into the overall defence plan.
Opened my eyes a little more…….
Thank you

Good video that pill box on top of the hill at the decoy site you can gain access to it but you gotta trespass on farmers land it's a good interesting find been there a couple of times

[@LivingHistoryUK]

Thanks guys! Oh nice one, would love to have a nose inside.

[@philipc4408]

That pill box looks very obvious now but at the time would it have been well camouflaged? One shell would knock it out they must have known that

[@LivingHistoryUK]

Hi Phil. I can’t vouch for this one in particular, but typically pillboxes were camouflaged with shuttering, camp nets etc. I should realistically imagine this one was too.
