The article suggests he got sand from the "sandy carpark". While it is true that there are parts of Hampstead Heath with a lot of natural "bagshot sand"[0], it is a bit further away from the bunker, and is fairly compacted and difficult to access. On the other hand, about 2 minutes from the bunker, there is a children's playground with a sandpit, and that year I did notice the sand disappearing from the sandpit more rapidly than other years (I used to joke that it was all coming home in my children's shoes). It's a minor point, but makes you wonder if there are any other minor points that might not be quite right.

The article does poke a little at that aspect:
> The bunker would need a lot of wood. He later insisted this came from fallen tree branches.
