The Royal Observer Corps Story – A hidden gem of the Second World War

One of the hidden gems of the Second World War is the story of how volunteers local watching the skies above England, Scotland and Wales helped saved many lives and caused a change of fortune for the beleaguered RAF.

Formed in 1925 in southeast England, and expanded to cover more of the country over the 1930s, the Observer Corps acted as the "eyes and ears of the RAF." Observer Corps posts were located in all types of prominent positions, often at the top of hills, so that observers could have a good all our roots, and be able to detect any aircraft. The Corps trace the movements of all aircraft in the skies over Britain during the war, friend or foe, allowing the limited resources of a battered Royal Air Force to triumph over Hitler's Luftwaffe. The contribution of the Corps at the Battle of Britain was so important that it was recognized with the award of Real title.

Body Work continued throughout the war, saving many lives through early warning of air strikes, but many members of the Body were willing to be more involved with the activity closer to the action. When the call was made for volunteers to join the defense gunners on board merchant vessels equipped 1400 male volunteers. Those who passed the rigorous training and testing were known as observers by sea, and participated in Operation Overlord, savings of many aircraft by friendly fire. "

During the filming of two video documentaries on the Royal Observer Corps, "Tocsin Bang "(on the role of the Cold War nuclear information was Corps) and its sequel" Sentinels of Britain "(history in times of war), we met many interesting people, and heard plenty of fascinating stories! It is easy to forget that we've all talked about their participation in the work of the body in times of war were between 16 and 25 at the time!

Bill Harford, who was in Mevagissey in Cornwall Post told us:

"In 1942 I was a school boy in elementary school and was very, very fond of reconnaissance aircraft and came to join the Royal Observer Corps truth by someone on the bus listening to what I was saying when we went to school, and reported it to the local Chief Observer, 'there is a guy on the bus who is brilliant on the recognition plane! " "

Shrubbs Joyce, a plotter and cash in the Bedford Center adds

"I think like any other young person who wanted to join the Services and I wanted to be in a uniform and feel that I was doing my part for the country. I was particularly interested in Women 'Auxiliary Air Force, but had to be 18 to do that, so when I saw an ad in the local shop window, there was a good news: "Join the Royal Observer Corps and living at home" and only had to be 17 and my seventeenth birthday was coming and I thought for me. The uniform was the same color as the auxiliary Womans' Air Force and the same style and everything I thought this is what I have to do. So I went along and joined in reality in my seventeenth birthday. It took an agonizing 10 days to be formal, but I did actually start the day my birthday. "

"Sentinels of Britain" is the story in wartime Royal Observer Corps, told by its members, observers who were there.
