www.flashearth.com/?lat=52.137594&lon=-1...&z=14.8&r=0&src="msl"

There appears to be, what looks like, bomb bunkers and theres a rail link to these.

Any ideas?

You would also see on here a tunnel like place, road with walls down the side.

This is an SAS training area for Anti Terroism.

Kineton is where the army train its Ammunition Technical Officers ie the bomb disposal operators. There are a lot of areas at Kineton where they do role plays for the ATOs.

Must admit I find it odd that bomb disposal isnt done by just one corps in the army. On the battlefield its a Royal Engineers job.
