PINDAR / Q-Whitehall (UK)
artifact
A secret bunker deep under Whitehall is built to keep 400 of Britain's leaders alive through a catastrophe.
Who they are
PINDAR, a UK Ministry of Defence underground bunker beneath Whitehall in London.
What they do
It's a hardened command site meant to preserve government leadership in a crisis.
How it works
Approved in 1982 and operational in 1992 at a cost of £126.3M, it sits about 200 feet down - deeper than the London Underground - houses 400 senior political and military leaders, and links to the Permanent Joint Headquarters at Northwood.
Why it matters
The engine points to it as proof that the drive to protect government continuity spans the whole Five Eyes alliance, not just the US.
The engine's record — word for word
