Part Two of Four: Academic historical interview with Lawrence Holmes MBE who runs the Veryan Bunker Museum in Cornwall, UK. This three man Royal Observer Corps (ROC) post would have been used to monitor radiation levels in the event of a nuclear strike on the UK during the Cold War. In Part Two, Lawrence talks of the ROC taking on its nuclear reporting role in 1955 and how ROC members would have responded if nuclear conflict had been triggered by a negative outcome to the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
