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.

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.

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.

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.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Chief Observer Graham Wilf Taylor yesterday. He was a great friend to the charity with a huge fund of knowledge about the Royal Observer Corps that he was always happy to share with us. Rest in peace Chiefy, duty done.
