KELVEDON HATCH I
13/14th September
A
truly relaxing event where smart uniforms and 'bling' was the order of the
day. The scenario set in the landscape of one of the countries old nuclear
bunkers and now re-created as a museum.
This was 1948 at the height of the Cold War and set in the Soviet sector where
the members of the public had to pass Soviet checkpoints to reach the British
sector where the museum was.
Members
of the unit had a great time and the public enjoyed their experience as they
passed through the Soviet sector once they had produced their documents!
