R606
This type 606 is located near an old loophole tower, and was used to shelter a 60cm searchlight. Following the war most fittings were removed, and the site is buried. In January 2025 Festung Guernsey excavated the bunker, retrieved some fittings and documented the site before burying it. We were able to visit. Please note that the inappropriate 1950s graffiti has been censored.

About half an hour later the personnel entrance was found.
