Continuing the second area north of Tunnel 4. We are now in areas that were RAF Stores during WWII.
In this section the remains are predominantly those from the RSG era.
To best understand this area you need to use the 1960's plans on page 20-21 (Page 16-17 in the original version.)

RETURN TO TUNNEL 4

Drakelow Tunnels bay 65
Back to Tunnel 4 and this is the next bay to the north. In the 1940's it was part of the RAF Stores, in the RSG era it was occupied by The Ministry of Power and The Fire Service. The wall at the end separates the 1980's RGHQ.
Drakelow Tunnels Committee room
This next section forms a 'H' shape, comprising two galleries linked by a small cross passage. This is the start of the first gallery as seen from Tunnel 4. The badly damaged partitioned room was the 'Committee room'.
Drakelow Tunnels bay 66 next room
Continuing along the gallery, past the Committee room is the Secretarial & General Administration area.

Continuing through the doorway in the previous shot you enter the 'Information Unit'.

Drakelow bay 66 south
Come back out of the information Unit and look south back towards Tunnel 4. (Back of Committee Room to the right).

passage
Before returning to Tunnel 4 look left at the passage that links to the next gallery. Now go back the way we came to Tunnel 4.

Moving along Tunnel 4 to the next bay to the north. The first room (partly collapsed) was the 'Secretaries' Office (Room 'S' in the plan on page 21.)

Proceed down the corridor past the 'Secretaries' Office, we see on the left the other end of the small passage that links back to the previous gallery. Note the remains of the Lamson tube system on the wall ahead.

Continuing past the connecting passage, we enter the last room in this bay, the Conference Room.
