@jggb1 @BBCMarkSimpson Any mention of the nuclear bunker or the wartime broadcasting service Gavin?

[Bentley Priory Museum @bentley_priory]

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.

@mchooyah Do you post to the UK from your online store Rob?

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.

@jggb1 @RAFBBMF @RoyalAirForceNI Was there back in 2023. Superb museum.

My favourite picture from last night at Stormont @RAFBBMF @RoyalAirForceNI

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 😍 https://t.co/D3qfr2yH3M

@Ganed_Ddraig It took 20 goes to get him to hold the rifle correctly.

[Chief Observer @NIBunker]

Ok, it was worth the money. You just need to get the text more defined Grok.

[Bentley Priory Museum @bentley_priory]

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!

[Chief Observer @NIBunker]

Open again this Saturday if anyone wants to drop by.

[Chief Observer @NIBunker]

Anyone Northern Ireland based that does audio and video transfers? Have some cine and reel-to-reel that I need digitised.

[Chief Observer @NIBunker]

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.

[Chief Observer @NIBunker]

@AmbJapanUK Do you fancy visiting a nuclear bunker or the best aircraft museum in the country? I can do both!
