If you were born before the 1980s you grew up with the threat of nuclear war, and you perhaps wondered what you were going to do if the famous 'four minute warning' of nuclear attack sounded. Well some people didn鈥檛 wonder - they knew. The men and women of the Royal Observer Corps were trained for this very thing - they were the field force of the UK Warning and Monitoring Organisation who were supposed to monitor where nuclear bombs had dropped and to give warnings of fall out. They were volunteers from all walks of life whose ordinary lives and jobs were twinned with a secret life underground, staffing the hundreds of observation post bunkers dotted across the country. They would report back to their group and sector headquarters where scientists would plot bombs and fall-out on on a map and pass warnings to the military, regional government bunkers, emergency services and the civilian population. Mark Stephen meets the Scottish ROC volunteers who were on the Cold War front line and finds out their story.
