Talk: The BBC and The Bomb - Cold War broadcasting from the bunkers

More Information (Rutland and Stamford Sound is not responsible for external websites)

Using his real-world knowledge and using a multi-media presentation of images, audio, video and some now declassified documents, Iain Betson tells the story of this little-known piece of Cold War history: from where would it have been broadcast? What would you have heard (you’ll be surprised)? And who, in the event of an attack, would have descended into the bunker to broadcast it?

Doors open at 10am with the talk starting at 10.30am.
Please note that u3a monthly meetings are now held on the first WEDNESDAY of the month at our new venue, Oakham Baptist Church in Melton Road.
