Secret Bases website shutdown by Virgin Media
Posted via Cryptome
(Alan Turnbull has run the very important site, Secret Bases, which is “the end-result of countless hours of research by Alan Turnbull, a man for whom the words “out of bounds†don’t really mean too much.
Dotted all over the UK are hundreds of secret Government and military installations. Some of them are quite obvious – MI6’s Vauxhall HQ for instance – but other’s you’d never know were there.” – quoted from Pocket Lint – Website of the Day)

I hope you can publish this urgently:-
UK Secret Bases website is deleted by host company Virgin Media (formerly NTL)
I started experiencing intermittent access problems on Monday 6th August 2007 and assumed just a temporary local network fault.
However, a regular reader emailed me today reporting same.
I complained to Virgin Media technical helpdesk tonight, Tuesday 7th August 2007 at 10pm and they then promptly deleted my whole webspace!
NTL hosted my webspace with no problems since August 2003.
Virgin Media acquired NTL only a matter of months ago in 2007.
More to follow …
I have a full backup and will act accordingly very soon.
Would appreciate you publicising worldwide ASAP.
Regards,
Alan Turnbull
