Attack Warning Red - ROC WB1400 demonstration

Demonstration of an attack warning red signal sent using original WB1400 equipment. This signal would have been received by ROC posts and civil institutions to warn them of an immanent nuclear strike in the UK during the Cold War era.

Sorry, no sirens anymore, too expensive. You will (seriously) get a text message though. Not sure what it will say, but something along the lines "you're f*cked" would seem appropriate.
