Starting this weekend! This #HalfTerm families can enjoy 2 activities at the museum.
LEGO Lookout: Build an ROC post to add to our map of posts across the country!
Pump-kings trail: Find hidden “pump-kings” (& queens!) with royal connections to Bentley Priory to win a prize!
As a small museum that is totally free to visit, raising funds is difficult, but @elonmusk has emailed me and all our money problems are gone! I would have settled for £10,000... *I know this is a scam.

The 🌧️ stopped long enough to get the grass cut. I really want to hold one more open day before the end of the year but getting a spell of dry weather is going to be few and far between.
So… tonight I got to meet the new head of the RAF - Air Chief Marshal Harvey Smyth and present him with a framed print of the Royal Observer Corps Spitfire. Which was nice. Pictured right to left, Myself, Harv, Tracey Malcolm and Paddy Malone.
First thing I ever purchased from an ad on Facebook and it’s actually good! It’s an inflatable camping light and I love it 😍 chillbeam.com

Now open! Don't miss our temporary exhibition exploring the Royal Observer Corps over its 100 year history. From aircraft spotting in WW2 to plotting nuclear fallout in the Cold War.
Have a go at our family activities & see if you have what it takes to be a member of the ROC!
Anyone Northern Ireland based that does audio and video transfers? Have some cine and reel-to-reel that I need digitised.
1989 issue set of rusty and crusty bunker batteries with seized fittings. No challenge at all for @BulldogBDX.
Cleaned up and looking good as new.

“You saw every bone, every bloodline, every sinew going through you hands with your eyes shut - a living X-ray.”
Christmas Island UK nuclear test veteran Brian Unthank tells #Newsnight he experienced his “first bomb” in just shorts and a t-shirt.
Thank you to everyone who made the trip out to the bunker yesterday. The replica emergency water tins flew off the shelf and out of the 10 I had in stock, I only have 3 left!
Our next planned open day will be on Saturday 26th July 12-3pm.
