Hello everyone! I am a newly joined member here, having first been impressed by the broad range and high quality of the shots on here. There's a lot of info on here that seems impossible to find elsewhere. Right now I am interested in pics of old, defunct WMD facilities...similar to those of the Chinese atomic bomb factory that another member kindly posted. Any nationality, any condition!
Thanks in advance!
Jehlsohft.

Nuclear munition storage site.

That website has a few WMD things on there, like chemical weapon storage facilties and nuclear weapon stores.

Seriously though, here you go. This is a now much-defunct site in Northumberland that once housed the 'Blue Streak' Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Test Centre during the late 50's. It's now used for RAF EW and Photo-recce training.

There's a difference between WMD facilites, and Nuclear Power Plants.
