Google Earth ROC post locations

If you use Google Earth and are interested in visiting ROC posts then have I got the thing for you!  This file opens Google Earth and shows placemarkers for all the ROC post locations in the UK. Clicking on the linked post will open up the relevant SubBrit page in the Google Earth mini browser.  I didn’t make it, but whoever did deserves mucho kudos.

As I mentioned, if you have any problems with it, it’s nothing to do with me. It works fine on mine.

Dunkeld ROC post

Dunkeld ROC post in Perthshire is a lovely little post tucked away on a golf course.  The post is safe and dry and contains a lot of interesting paperwork, some of which you can see in the pictures below. I may add some more shortly too.

The post closed in September 91 when the Royal Observer Corps were stood down.

Alyth ROC post

Alyth ROC post is just outside the Perthshire town of Alyth.  It’s a master post (i.e. the main post in a group of usually 3). The post itself is dry and contains various artefacts leftover from standown in the early 1990′s.
