EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the intense days of World War II. It showcases one of a series of pictures that provide a glimpse into the crucial work carried out by a Royal Observer Corps Centre. In this particular image, we witness the dedicated individuals meticulously plotting the course of every aircraft on an operations table. The significance of this task becomes evident as we learn that both hostile and friendly planes are tracked with equal vigilance. The information necessary for such precise plotting is received through direct telephone lines from a network of strategically positioned ROC posts scattered throughout the neighborhood. As we delve deeper into the scene, it becomes apparent that time is truly of essence in this high-stakes environment. Every piece of news gathered at the centre is swiftly relayed to Fighter Command, ensuring constant monitoring and preparedness against enemy raids. Transporting us back to November 1943, this photograph encapsulates not only the spirit but also highlights key aspects such as civil defense, military coordination, and communication during wartime. It serves as a poignant reminder of those who selflessly served their country during one of history's most turbulent periods – World War II.
