— THE COLD WAR —
Following the end of WWII in 1945, it became clear that any harmony between the Western occupying powers (the Americans, French and British) and their Eastern ''ally'', the Soviet Union, was illusionary. Stalin systematically set out to establish communism as a dominant force in Eastern Europe through a policy of occupation and repression. Attempts by the West to establish a planned route to a free Europe at the Potsdam Conference in July 1945 proved and, by 1946, the battle were being drawn for the next major War, the Cold War – a war of ideologies (Capitalism vs Communism) which was to last until the disintegration of the Communist Bloc and the Soviet Union from 1991.
''RAF Neatishead is unique in being able to represent the changes to Britain's air defence policy through the Cold until the present day. Many of the building on site are of special interest. They form a significant group of little altered contemporary structures which clearly reflect their function and Neatishead's place as the longest continuously occupied Radar Station in Britain, and probably the world. The R30 Operations Room at RAF Neatishead is a uniquely intact electronic ''frontline'' from the Cold War of international importance. It reflects the ''tripwire response'' under the Linesman scheme to update Britain’s radar defences and is a time capsule of 1970's computer technology. The building is an imposing and significant element of the Radar Station.'' – Quoted from Historic England.
The clocks in the Cold War Operations Room depict two different times, Local (L) and Zulu (Z). Local times change with the seasons, such as British Summer Time, and around the world depending on which international time zone you are in. Zulu time however, or Greenwich mean time, is constant and used in aviation and by NATO Forces on operations around the world. Below one of these clocks is a ''Ringo'' panel, an RAF wide system used to display the current National or NATO alert measure. One of several alert measures that can be displayed is ''Survival (Scramble) 25''. This would be triggered by the Ballistic Early Warning System in response to the detection of a Soviet Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile attack against the UK. ''Survival 25'' is an immediate order for all aircraft to ''scramble'' to prevent them from being caught on the ground from a Nuclear Strike. Nuclear armed bombers that survived the strike would retaliate in kind !
To experience the countries only original Cold War Operations Room, which formed a critical link in the RAF's Command and Control System in the years following WWII. A visit to the RAF Air Defence Radar Museum will give you a comprehensive insight into how Cold War air defence operations were carried out during those tence and dangerous times as the RAF faced the might of the Soviet Air Force and their ever present threat of Nuclear War.

Alpinist Unit Winter of 2012
Every year during the winter season, the combat soldiers of the Alpine Unit are dispatched to Mount Hermon, after having been trained to operate under extreme weather conditions. January 22, 2012.
The Alpine Unit is comprised of reserve soldiers that served in elite units during their regular service and who take part in intensive training days in Judea and Samaria and the northern border, particularly Mt. Hermon.
The unit carries out regional defense tactics, shooting while skiing at high speeds, snowmobiling, and riding Sno-Cats.
All of the reservists who serve in the Alpine unit are volunteers. The unit is highly selective and challenging to join.
The album features pictures of the reservists running drills in Mt. Hermon. The pictures include soldiers practicing skiing, climbing, shooting, tracking, and rehearsing rescue drills in conditions of heavy snow.

Construction started in 1877 as one of a series of defences to protect the strategically important docks at Chatham. After a few setbacks and delays, the fort was completed in 1892 and the finished construction was considerably smaller than the original plan. The only excavations to be dug were those of the ditch, from which the earth was used to cover the exposed structures inside the fort. The ditch was concrete lined and the final feature to be installed was the rare rolling drawbridge.
The fort was purely defensive, and was never armed (like most 'forts' of the time), but would have been armed and manned in the event of a national crisis. Ironically, by the time the series of fortifications were completed they were outdated and obsolete.

Grain Tower Battery was completed in 1855 and is similar in design to the earlier Napoleonic East Coast Martello towers. The tower is located in the Thames Estuary off Grain, and is reached by foot, via a causeway at low tide.
Originally the tower was intended to be armed with 3 smooth bore guns in open emplacements on the roof. It was rearmed in both World Wars and was altered to acommodate new guns. In 1914 a floating boom was put across the mouth of the River Medway, from Sheerness, to the Grain Tower. This boom was an anti invasion defence to stop enemy ships entering the river. The chain that anchored the boom to the tower still remains today, wrapped around its base. In 1912 two 4.7 QF (Quick Firing) guns were moved from the nearby Wing Battery to the tower. Then in 1940 twin 6 pounder QF guns were installed, the 2 storey barrack accomodation block was built, and the 4 storey observation tower was added. The battery was disarmed in the 50's and left to the elements. Currently the tower is up for sale, waiting for any potential buyer to purchase it.
