We were blown away by a donation we received last night. The original 28 Group ROC crest! Massive thanks to Dorothy Williamson!

Massive thank yous to Dr Meredith Greiling and Dr Sarah Harper for giving Gavin, Flo and Angela a guided tour of the National Museum of Scotland’s Cold War Scotland exhibition. It was incredibly well put together with lots of well chosen exhibits.
We were delighted to welcome the 31st A Dundee Guides to the bunker over the weekend for an overnight stay. As well as a tour the Guides learned about the phonetic alphabet, binary (by making coded bracelets) and were able to do an ROC quiz and wordsearch.
That was a long, long day, but so worth it! The old 30 Group sign board is safely at its forever home in the Dundee bunker. Well over 400 of miles driven, about 11 hours behind the wheel! Here is the sign this afternoon sitting close to the site of the original 30 Group bunker.
Luke is keeping an observant eye on all of us as @vGothNight stream the finest of tunes into the ether! #goodestboi

16th October 1939 ‘The Battle of the River Fourth’. Witnessed by my Grandfather who had only joined the Observer Corps a week earlier. The armband he was wearing at the time is shown next to an aerial photo of the raid.
More amazing work from Al at Portadown Post!
During WWII roughly 300 Observer Corps Post were designated ‘GRANITE’ and equipped with flares. Their role was to warn aircraft in hilly or mountainous locations if they were flying too low. The location of the chosen posts had been lost to time… until now… I found the complete list. First 2 pages shown.
