Here are the pictures...
1. Veryan Post Bunker Museum is situated on the spectacular Nare Head on the
southern coast of Cornwall. The post is only 30 metres from 200 feet high cliffs
and the Cornish Coastal Footpath runs by the post ensuring a steady stream of
visitors. Since 1996 over 1200 visitors have been down the underground nuclear
bunker. The Post has been preserved and opened to the public by the Truro Branch
of the ROCA.
2. Ten members of the North and East Cornwall Branch ROCA paid a visit to the
post on Sunday 30th July 2006. Many of them were almost excited to be able to
touch and handle all the old nuclear equipment with which they were so familiar
many years ago. The mound behind the group covers another concrete command
bunker, that of a WWII decoy site which was run by the Navy and placed on Nare
Head to lure enemy bombers at night to drop bombs on the decoy instead of nearby
Falmouth.
3. Ron May Secretary of the North and East Cornwall Branch ROCA points out the
intricacies of the GZI to watching members on their visit to Veryan Post Museum.
4. As well looking at the nuclear post and instruments members of the North and
East Cornwall Branch examined the post plotting instrument used by observers in
the aircraft reporting role in WWII and up to the late 1950s. Here member Colin
Mitchell attempts to report a grid reference from the chart table. Few present
could understand how to use the Micklethwaite Height Corrector ??
