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.

Amazing pictures!

That warning notice might also have added the possibility that Unauthorized Persons would give themselves a nasty cut. It seems from the last photo that the base has already been bombed, without anyone noticing.

Why did someone bring a thurible? Were you all going to bless the missiles?
