Great stuff, thanks for posting this.

What's being removed from the walls with the angle grinders? It looks like bits of rusty tube with little value...

How was the air in there?

Could be as simple as something to hang wooden seats or beds from. See for example the third photo in http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1041171/Violent-stor...

I wonder more about why one would, upon entering such a bunker, start axle grinding ones such structures.

Little point in leaving stuff there I suppose. It will just rust away further over the next hundreds of years. Better to concentrate resources in a few of them.

Sorry, I posted this and went to sleep so missed the replies. We have one complete and open to the public. We were allowed to dig out the bunker entrance to explore & recover anything interesting, then it had to be sealed back up. The last time this was done was in the 70's, as it is beach-side in an environmentally protected area.
