WWII History
During WWII this bunker was one of three 60cm searchlight bunkers located on Alderney. It was called “Searclight Hummerfeste’.
- The Aussie BBQ Bunker near the lighthouse.
- The second is on the track leading down from Fort Tourgis to Clonque.
- The third is out at The Guns on the southern cliffs.
Searchlight Hummerferfest consisted of the searchlight bunker, a crew bunker and a generator room. Both the crews quarters and generator were on the ground level below the searchlight bunker.
We will have an image of this shortly.
