Question - Information wanted just the name

[Polominto73]

Hi all racking my brain cells here trying to find the name of base that was used by a branch of security forces know it had a mine attached to it apparently they moved to new hq international security something ?? Had seen post with narrow gauge train in pic if this narrows it down any

International rescue?

Maybe chilmark

In the UK?
Security forces and international security are both terms I would associate more with overseas installations.
I think most mines probably had a narrow gauge railway and if you look worldwide there's thousands of bases built on or next to a mine.

Need more info really. Picture on this site with a train? A recent post, did you comment on the thread or liked it?
Sometimes trawling Google images with various search terms gets a good starting point.

Special Reconnaissance Regiment and 18 (UKSF) Signals Regiment are also regular special forces, as are the Adjutant General's Corps, but that is a different sort of "special".

yes i forgot about about the first two you mentioned ....but adjutant Generals Corps seems odd they would consider them "special forces" as if I remember correct don't they cover administrational type duties..

Does anyone have pics of the mock up with the train carriages+ apparently the set up of a major incident?

Don't recall ever hearing about anything like that at Chilmark.

Littlebrook Power station was in the news early 2016 with something similar, a mock up of a collapse at Waterloo iirc. Did you maybe mean that?

 

[Polominto73]

No definitely chilmark it was apparently used by isee for training purposes was mocked up to look like major incident. I will look into little brook site thanks .
