Northern Ireland’s Secret Nuclear Bunker & Royal Observer Corps Museum. Located in County Armagh. IWM War & Conflict - Specialist Subject Network Member.
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 Vulcan to the Sky Trust has today launched a critical fundraising appeal to protect and preserve the legendary Avro Vulcan XH558. https://t.co/DycnVoi6p3
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.
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!
