Old Educational Slides

I cant' remember if I ever uploaded these. Just found on my Flickr stream. Originally from a car boot many years ago. Most are pretty dull but a few odd ones like the negative ones and the wartime handy hints etc.

Nuke Weapons Effects Computer

Could come in handy. Just find the relevant Bomb size/blast radius and of you go. House Damage, Casualties in hours, Untrapped, Seriously Injured, Air Burst Ground Burst.

I was given one of this quite a few years back and have spent a lot of time trying to work out where I would leg it to if we were about to get hit. I can confirm the answer is nowhere.

Beneath the City Streets by Peter Laurie (Revised edition / Panther, 1979)

When I first acquired this book a few years ago (I literally found it on the street as I recall), I considered it an amusing reminder of the grim extremes of cold war paranoia. Fast forward to 2017 however, and I am somewhat less amused. In fact, I find myself worrying about the likelihood that the government have let all those emergency food dumps go to pot since the Berlin Wall fell, and fearing the day when I might find myself vainly trekking towards one of them with my few remaining possessions stuffed in a bin liner. Oh well, you’ve gotta laugh etc…
