At the time there were lots of signs, AWRE, which I didn't know the meaning of and it wasn't until we were in the office that I saw a fully worded sign - Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. They wanted to take the film out of the camera and have it developed but when I explained the camera had an automatic rewind, that wouldn't work until the film had reached the end, we took photos of each other inside the office until the film was finished.

i know that area well, used to take fishing parties from Creeksea down as far as the Buxey Buoy, if you go aground on an Ebb Tide you have a long wait.
