A fascinating and instructional video. One of the officers speaking in the film is a very good friend of mine of 60+ years standing, it is very nostalgic to see her as she was when I first met her!
It would have been interesting to see how many observers would have actually manned their posts instead of spending their last days on earth with loved ones...
An interesting documentary that I’d never seen before. Perhaps you could retitle the upload so it’s easier to find on UA-cam ? Thanks for uploading, the Royal Observer Corps is often overlooked.

I loved the Royal Observer Corps Summer Training Camps at RAF Stations.
They were always very eventful in so many ways , specially the last evening!

I find it amazing and fascinated that people actually did this.
We are still taking the medication thanks.

This is so nostalgic Bernie. Very 80/90s

If only I was 20-30 years older. I would have loved to have been a volunteer in the Royal Observer Corps.

I served In 9 group Yeovil control for 23 years, until standown.
I worked in Kelvedon hatch, apparently it’s now owned by English Heritage, those were the days, lol
Shame, I would have volunteered for a vital part of the UK's defence
Hi Berny, if you relabel this video, it will be seen by more people who are interested in these videos. Hope that helps.
