I am sure that I speak for the whole party in wishing you and your colleagues every success in your endeavours to preserve' Drakelow ' for posterity."

"A very BIG thank you for the extremely interesting and unique visit yesterday to the Drakelow facilities - what an incredible place! It would make a fantastic Museum and pay tribute to all those who were involved in it's creation and bear testament to the British spirit and ingenuity. Well done to you all! Many thanks"

"Just to say a very big thank you to you and your team for an excellent and very informative tour around the Drakelow site on Wed 9- Nov. Everyone in my party thourghly enjoyed it. We all commented that, if only someone would come up with funding to help you support the tunnels, hopefully one day this may be true. Once again many thanks for the visit it was excellent."
Henry Adams

"I just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful experience at Drakelow last night. The tour was excellent, It allowed visitors to really get a feel for what it was like in the three periods when they were in use. Ian our guide was very informative and knew the answer to any of the very many questions that our group had. I would reccomend the tour to anyone, and wish you the best of luck for securing funding etc for the future use of the tunnels for tours and a museum. Thanks again and well done to your team for the excellent work that you do."
Mark Steadman

"Having been on the tour last night, I would just like to thank you for a most excellent evening. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute! Your little talk at the beginning was very interesting and Ian, our guide, was brilliant. Although I knew a little about the tunnels I had no idea how much more there was to know and just how vast the whole place was. I bought your book which I am looking forward to reading and would dearly love to tour again in the future before the place rots away. It is so sad to see it all eroding and must be quite painful for those of you who care so much. Anyway, thanks again for a great evening."
Mandy Bonner

"Hi paul, just wanted to say thanks for the tour round the bunker the other week, I really didn't know what to expect when I booked up; perhaps a "small hole" in the ground but after the tour I was amazed at the size of the place!! I have a "morbid" fascination with tunnels and the such like and you have given me my latest fix !! all I can say is that you do a fantastic job of running the tours and the dedication of you and your team is something you should be proud of and praised on for your enthusiasm for preserving part of our nations heritage, keep up the good work and hopefully soon you can make something more of what is a fantastic trip back in to memory lane, just a shame the lottery can't help you any more!! please keep me updated on any new progress."
Dave Talliss

"I felt compelled to email you and thank you for the tour last night. I found the tour absolutely fascinating and your enthusiasm for the project is amazing and so noticable. I also admired your massive knowledge of the tunnels and all associated information. I really can't thank you enough. A night I will always remember."
Paul Sutton

"Thank you so much for last night's excellent tour, it was interesting, informative and 'eye opening'. My friends all thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward with anticipation to reading your book."
Peter Kay

"I've just returned from a short break so this has been the first opportunity to drop you a note, just to say thanks to you and the guys for making the tour on the 28th thoroughly enjoyable. It's heartwarming to see the dedication you put into this worthy project and it was immensely interesting to all three generations in our party. My lad couldn't wait to get to school and tell his mates about it, and for my father-in-law it was a stark reminder of his wartime childhood years, and later his role in the ambulance service during the cold war as one of the guys who'd have had to deal with the real horrors the 4-minute warning pressaged. For my part I found the event absorbing and for all this to have happened only a few short miles from home is a sobering thought. As impressive as the complex itself is the weight of subject knowledge your group holds - it's quite apparently a labour of love. I'll be sure to recommend the experience to others and I hope and trust that you are successful in keeping Drakelow Tunnels alive."
