Would yoy qualify for THE OBSERVER CORPS? HAVE A GO TRY OUR NEW OBSERVER CORPS EXPERIENCE

Enemy aircraft have crossed over the British coast and it's up to you to identify them. Do you have what it takes? 80 years ago, the Observer Corps were a vital part in protecting the skies above South East England during the Battle of Britain. Yet when people reflect on the events of 1940, they are often overlooked in favour of ‘the Few’ flying overhead. Today we are shining a light on the Observer Corps role - in the form of our new virtual reality experience! Put yourself in the shoes of one of the many civilian volunteers who spotted aircraft and provided key information to Operations Rooms across the country, as we take you back to 15 September 1940; the day that saw the heaviest of Luftwaffe attack. You’ll be up against the clock to spot and identify incoming enemy raids and report your observations back to Fighter Command. Try it now: Using mobile or tablet?
