From The Archives- Protest At RAF Molesworth 1985

[poliphilo]

In 1981 the government decided to deploy Cruise missiles at the Molesworth RAF base in Cambridgeshire- making it a focus for protest by peace campaigners. I was there on a demo in 1985 (I think)- and took these pictures.

As ooxc says that's the peace chapel. I remember how furious I was when the authorities took it down.

I think that I've now worked out that photo that puzzled me - wasn't that the first year - and hadn't they blocked off the bridle path too? I remember now that there was a huge fuss when they blocked it, and had to unblock it again

I don't have any record of the event- apart from the photos- so I forget which year it was. I've guessed 85, but it might well have been earlier.
